I don’t think it matters what age they get them. They may have been exposed already. I have Hamish booked in for his immunisation for it, not for everyone I know! I think it depends on the individual child some hardly get any bother with them others are miserable for about 7-10 days from what I hear

My little boy had them when he was 3, he got them really bad and was poorly with them the first few days. I think no matter what the age they will get poorly with them. My little girls 2 soon she’s not had them yet. Don’t think I would take mine anywhere to purposely catch them, x

Weve stayed away and haven't actually seen them in ages so they probably won't get them now which is okay.. might be best to wait till kasen is a bit older... like pp said they'll get them when they get them x

Out of every childhood illness I dreaded chicken pox mine all had them 2 weeks apart, myb4 year old didn’t really bother shehad them in her eyes and belly an back my son who’s 1 had them everywhere and my LG who was 8 months at the time had them everywhere literally not a spot on her body where she didn’t have them go on my profile there’s a pic of my LG my son had lots of scars from them mainly his belly

If they do get them we used oats in the bath and that helped MASSIVELY xx

Mine had them at 8 months 1 yr and 4yr

It was AWFUL especially my youngest she was covered head to toe same as my 1 yr old

Xx

If you've been around your sisters in the past 10ish days before he spots have come out they will more than likely get them anyway, my year old had them just before he was 4 and he was absolutely covered he use to scream when he went for a wee, had them in the corners of his eyes everything, my step son who's a year younger had them same time and hardly had any, they all react different to them xx

They will just catch them when they catch them. Oldest was 5 yrs old, he got them from school, then his dad caught them, his dads where really bad! Then the 3yr old caught them and then my 9mo caught them. He was about 7months. All 2 weeks apart. Didn’t bother the 3&5 yr old at all but did the baby, he had to have anti histamine prescribed. But their dad was poorly with them. Although the 2 youngest in nappies had them really bad on their privates and bums and have scarred down there but was still their normal selves xx
