I am currently helping a mother and baby who were exposed recently (within the past week) to chicken pox. Neither mother nor baby (10months old) has had chicken pox previously. They do not currently show signs of the disease, but mom would like to prepare herself with information. Mom is worried about any potential problems if either she or her baby come down with chicken pox. For example, if baby has pox in her mouth, can she pass the disease to mother (if mother hasn't already shown symptoms?) Mom is working full time and wants to know about the implications for her current or future expressed milk. Should mother ask her HCP about a Varicella Zoster Immune Globulin shot? I have found info about chicken pox only with regard to pregnant women and very newborns. Thank you in advance. Lisa Jones, LLLL in Wellington FL
