2 mo. old breastfeeding baby exposed to Chicken Pox--what should Mom do?

[PJsmomma]

I'm posting for my sister in law.

The baby is 2 months old today and is nursing. A boy at the in home daycare has chicken pox. He's 3 or 4 and the baby was only with this boy 1 day.

My sister in law is upset and trying to be calm. I told her I'd ask what she should do. I told her she's doing the very best thing by nursing him already.

Can she take a little more Vitamin C or what would you suggest?

A little more vit C wouldn't hurt, but I really don't think there's much she can do besides keep nursing and keep an eye on the babe. I hope they're both ok.
