Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I was 7 months old when I had chicken pox (39 years ago!) I have been exposed to them numerous times since then and have never gotten them again. I was not breast fed, and was vaxed though. So, yes, I would think your immunity might carry over to your son at this point. AND is the child with chicken pox vaccinated? Do you know if this is " wild " chicken pox or the vaccine version. Like Anita mentioned, today's childhood illnesses aren't what they were in the past. We don't know WHAT exposure to these possibly mutated strains are. Just my thoughts. Kay (who exposed her 2 kids to chicken pox 12 years ago, but BEFORE the vaccine was developed.) Too Young for Chicken Pox? Someone in our area has a child with chicken pox and it having a playdate. I am wondering, how young is too young for them to get them? My son is 7 months. Is that too young? Will it cause more harm than good to expose him now? What are the effects of a young baby with chicken pox? Also, I am breastfeeding and he has had zero vax, would this make him less likely to get it even if we did go play? ) Lucas, mom to Gavin ~ 07.09.05 ~ 7 Months Old ~ http://www.thelucastribe.com ~ KUSTOMIZED KIDS ~ Featuring Customized/Personalized Baby & Children's Clothing and Natural Parenting/Breastfeeding Advocacy Products http://www.cafepress.com/kustomizedkids ~ Featuring Custom Pencil Drawings of People & Pets ~ http://www.thelucastribe.com/drawings.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 The child was vaccinated a while back (like years I think with the way she said it) but still got the pox. At this point she is not sure where the child got them from. ) Lucas, mom to Gavin ~ 07.09.05 ~ 7 Months Old ~ http://www.thelucastribe.com ~ KUSTOMIZED KIDS ~ Featuring Customized/Personalized Baby & Children's Clothing and Natural Parenting/Breastfeeding Advocacy Products http://www.cafepress.com/kustomizedkids ~ Featuring Custom Pencil Drawings of People & Pets ~ http://www.thelucastribe.com/drawings.shtml Too Young for Chicken Pox?

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 From what I've *heard* getting chicken pox that young will probably not give your child the benefits he would get at a later age. At this age, especially if he is breastfed, he probably still has your natural immunity. When I asked many of my non-vaxing friends about this subject (what age to expose my son to chicken pox) they all said that around 5 or 6 is a good time. However, I would relaly like to see some specific research showing a more scientific answer for this. It's already getting harder and harder to find children with " wild pox " . Who knows what it will be like in 2 or 3 years? -devin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I have heard the theory that getting chicken pox before the age of 1 means the person is more likely to get them again. That simply isn't true. It's all a matter of susceptibility. Breast fed babies are less susceptible to ALL illnesses. And at the age of 5 or 10 or even 20, if a person isn't susceptible, they won't get sick anyway. There's no guarantee your son will get cp as a baby or even at the age of 5 or 6. And what's around now is probably more vaccine versions of chicken pox anyway. No one knows which is " wild " and which is the mutated cp. Kay P. Re: Too Young for Chicken Pox?

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 yay. (acn you tell that was sarcastic? lol) I had chicken pox when I was about 9. It sucked, but it wasn't any worse to me than having the flu, really.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hi Devin, Given the experimental nature of all vaccines and the newness of the cp vaccine in particular, I would avoid it like the plague. I believe the chance of exposing a child to the natural strain of any childhood disease these days is very poor. Many members of this group feel differently and go out of their way to expose their children. In my opinion, it's a crap shoot and I'm not a gambler; especially with my children's health. You'll have to do what your comfortable with and what your conscience will allow. Some exposures are unavoidable and if you have a susceptible child, que sera sera.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 My brother invited this lady to my house for a few drinks, she got caught trying to steal from us (apparently, she is a crack addict). After we dropped her off, she called OCS and told them we smoked crack cocaine in our house, but that's not true, we don't go near the stuff, what happened was, it was too cold to go outside, my wife smokes cigarettes, so I told her it was ok to smoke in the bathroom, our bathroom has a fan and I don't smoke, so I approved. The lady assumed we were talking about crack since she is a smoker of that drug.

For me, I was beaten almost every day and called all kinds of names because of my skin color and race. If I had a choice, I'd rather my children lived with relatives.
