Varicella in the newborn is a deadly disease. See AAP Redbook and Ruth
Lawrence.  Mom and baby should be separated, and no BM until the Mom is no
longer infectious (lesions scabbed over. )  I agree infant has probably
already been infected - he needs VZIG.  If the child is > 2-3 months old (and
was close to term at birth) I would continue breastfeeding.
