My husband just had chicken pox today. My lil one has just hit 6months old, she has yet fully vaccinated with pneumococcal and chicken pox. Will it be alright if she get infected at this age? Or should I quarantine her instead?
I don't know what to do

I'd suggest the following reading.
"If the baby's mother had chickenpox, or the chickenpox vaccine, then the infant is protected by maternal antibodies, which persist for several months." link to Parentsdotcom
"Chickenpox can be more dangerous and can cause complications in very young babies." link to babycentre
6mo child is not easy to take care of, let alone one with chickenpox. Hence personally, I'd opt for immediate quarantine, bearing in mind that there's already been 7-10 days of exposure prior to symptoms manifesting on the carrier.

Thank u 
checked with pd. My lil seem to have little spots initially.. was told to keep breastfeeding her as I have the anti bodies for chicken pox. For the past 6 days, the spots on my baby's body seems fading.. That's all I can do for the moment. This week is crucial as the blisters on my hubby's body are drying up and peeling off!
