BF answer book says that if mom has previously had chicken pox herself, the
newborn's cahnces of contracting chicken pox is greatly reduced.  Also says
to keep infected sibs away from the baby.
In general, the immunities to varicella via breastmilk of an immune mom
seem to be weak, IMO. Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
