Below is a good website on scarlet fever. I don't believe you become totally immune to strep A but your body will make antibodies to what it has previously been exposed to. Of course the older child should be treated; and the usual precautions of handwashing and not sharing utensils and not coughing on others etc will apply. The mother and baby are fine to keep breastfeeding; yes baby is receiving protective antibodies. See website below:
