Lisa Dugan asked

>Does breastfeeding generally offer the baby protection against the
disease [chicken pox] or against all but a mild case?

Anecdotally, no.

At six weeks my exclusively-breastfed brother had the worst case of my four
siblings.  And at 8 weeks my exclusively-breastfed daughter had a mild case.
