I don't think so. It's related to chicken pox, but I think it's a different disease.

I've never known a baby to have it, but apparently there is a "pediatric shingles"

Hope your friends baby is ok!!

I woudn't think that was shingles. Shingles rashes form along nerves from what I've seen.

Re: can a baby get shingles?

The baby can get chicken pox from the adult who has shingles. My mom has shingles right now so we have been doing a lot of research about it. You can't technically "catch" shingles but someone who has not has chicken pox can get it from that person. Does this make sense?
