Chickenpox

I think my son may be coming down with chickenpox which isn’t a surprise as they’ve had a few cases at the nursery. Any recommendations on lotions/medications/anything else that help the little ones?

Chicken pox Mousse and Aloe Vera gel worked for my twins in Jan.

Also oat baths (put oats in socks, tie and put it in the bath)

thank you so much! Anything to help them with the nappy region or just normal sudocrem? He has developed a few spots there in the last few hours

I don't use Sudocream. I just use the Mousse everywhere and I mean everywhere. Aloe Vera worked really well as that was cooling and I could apply loads.

I found Priton didn't work btw

Thank you, that’s helpful. I can’t imagine how hard it was with twins - superwoman! X

This will make you laugh. One twin caught it a few days before we went on holiday and I thought T1 got away with it. Nope..21 days later, he broke out🤦🏾‍♀️ but it was really mild. Typical x
