We don't vaccinate and my five year old's best friend has chicken pox. We want to go over to play, and to contract chicken pox, but my littlest is only 4 months old.

I searched online and can't get a clear picture of the danger. I read (in several different places)

that:
babies usually don't get it
if they do, it's mild
breastfed babies/kids get mild cases
babies can contract it but it won't give them an immunity
babies shouldn't be exposed until 12 months

Anyone have some good info to point me towards? Thanks!
