A member asked:
Hi,the day my husband diagnosed from chicken pox i took my 7 month baby to my mom place to protect him.do my baby have chances to get chicken pox?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Chickenpox is usually contagious from the day before they break out for a week thereafter. If your baby was in the same room with your husband at any point during that time, it has been exposed enough to get it.Incubation is usually 10-21 days.Babies usually do a bit better than adults, but it can have worrisome complications..
