Chickenpox at nursery
The nursery has contacted on my sons second day at nursery to say that a baby has chickenpox. This baby was in the same room as my child.
Is there a high chance of him getting it? The baby was removed within 3-4, hours.
I havent had chickenpox myself so I am a bit worried hence me asking.
Are there any steps I can take?
Thanks all

You might want to phone triage or your midwife for advice. If your pregnant and get it I think you get given medication
Chicken pox is contagious a couple days before the spots come out so there's a chance he could have caught it but there's really no telling
Check in with your midwife for advice, im sure they can do a blood test to check you for antibodies to see if you have natural immunity and if not they can give you a treatment if you are exposed

Post partum sex
VAGINAL BIRTHS, NO STITCHES OR COMPLICATIONS -
How long did everyone wait until they had sex? I usually hate these posts now I’m finding myself asking the same question hahahaha. The sexual tension we both have is unreal, we’ve not slept together since 2nd May😮💨 i usually have more self discipline than this! Baby was born 10th August so I’m 3 weeks and 2 days, not much blood is on my pads anymore however it’s there when I wipe. We almost tried the other night but I chickened out in case it hurt 😢

Toddler toothpaste
My son is 2 and we use the Orajel toothpaste non fluoride. His teeth have gaps and I’m already scarred by that so I want to make sure he’s getting good oral care. What toothpaste and toothbrushes do you guys use. Rn he likes to brush his teeth ( let’s me do it) because he likes to eat the toothpaste 😅 but any advice and he has a dentist appointment coming up too so hopefully all goes well.

How did you encourage your LO to take their first steps?
My LG is 11 months (1 year in 3 weeks) and she is ALWAYS wanting to walk holding my hands. She does it really well and is barely putting any weight on my hands any more and she cruises confidently!
I've been trying to encourage her to take an independent step but every time I do, she crawls to me instead.
Any tips would be great!

How many bottles do you have?
Typically how many bottles do you have? I know it depends on how often you wash them etc. We have 4 at the moment but looking at buying a couple more to avoid washing as often.

Baby bath with stand and breast pump recommendations needed!
Hi all,
As we only have a shower I'm looking for any baby tubs which come with a stand ?
Also trying to research breast pumps but there are so many and always prefer to hear actual reviews. Please give me any recommendations you may have! :)
