A. Chicken Pox in Infants Chicken pox is usually a mild disease, but it can be serious in babies under 12 months, especially if born prematurely or with a compromised immune system. If you, as the parent, have had chicken pox during your life, your baby will be immune to the virus for the first few months after birth.your newborn shows signs of chickenpox, you should get in contact with your GP as soon as possible so a doctor can assess them. Chickenpox in babies and infants usually passes without complications – for most healthy babies, the symptoms of chickenpox will be more of an annoyance than a serious concern.Help reduce itching with calamine lotion and oatmeal baths.Let your baby get plenty of rest.Keep your baby hydrated.
