There are many parents do not even like to think about that possibility. Certain diseases and however, are so common during the first year for the baby are almost routine.
It is very likely that your baby will experience one or more of the following six diseases during their first year after baby born. There are things you can do to treat some of the symptoms and your baby is not so uncomfortable.
Constipation
Constipation is very common disease and that's affecting about thirty percent of children at some point. Note that there are no timetables or "normal" numbers when we talk about poop babies. Your baby will have its own pattern. Some babies poop after every meal and others only do a few times a week.
Your individual pattern depends on what you eat and drink, how active and how fast digesting their food and eliminating waste. With practice, you can adapt to the unique patterns of your baby.
If you're worried because you think your baby is constipated, there are a few signals that you must be careful. One indication is that less poop than usual, especially if not done in three days or more and it is very obvious that you are uncomfortable with bowel movements again. Another sign that you may be constipated is when their beams are hard, dry and difficult to pass, no matter how frequent are.
If highly liquid notes poop in your baby's diaper, do not assume it's diarrhea. In fact, it may be evidence of constipation. Liquid poo can pass the obstruction of the lower intestine and end up in your baby's diaper.

Coughs and colds
It is almost certain that your baby will grow cold during the first year. There are hundreds of viruses that cause colds or colds, and your baby can not fight as easily as you because their immune system is still developing. In addition, babies explore everything with their hands and mouths, giving the viruses that cause colds wide opportunity to enter their bodies.
Colds are especially common in the fall and winter, when babies spend more time in their homes, an environment contain viruses, they can spread more easily from person to person.
On average, adult fish two to four colds a year; the average child of six to ten. A child who is in day care can have up to twelve colds a year!
Determine whether your baby has a common cold, allergy, or disease would be more difficult. The characteristics of a cold include a nose that does not stop leaking (with light, yellowish or greenish mucus), sneezing, and possibly a mild cough or fever. More clues:
Behavior. A child with a common cold can continue playing as usual. If it is a more serious illness, probably you have less energy and be cranky.
gradual start. A cold start quietly, it worsens, and calm in 10 days or less. Diseases like influenza often have a quick start. Allergies tend to be continuous, and do not cause fever.
Diaper rash
Diaper rash are a fact of life for children. Almost all babies suffer from diaper rash sometime. Interestingly, in countries where they are not used diapers, diaper rash are almost unknown. However, in the United States, about one in four babies suffering from diaper rash during their first month of life.
Diaper rash is not a sign that you are a careless mother, although you can certainly believe that when you look so soft and smooth skin of your baby, red and irritated. It is true that a baby who is left in a dirty diaper for too long is more likely to develop a rash. However, any baby with sensitive skin can rub, even if their parents diaper change every few minutes.
Even the most absorbent diapers on the market do not remove all the urine from the baby's delicate skin. The bacteria in urine mixed with poop decomposes and forms ammonia, which can be very rough.
Introducing new solid foods into your baby's diet, can change the composition of the poop or cause the baby to evacuate more frequently, which can cause scratches.
Diarrhea
When your child has diarrhea, you can immediately identify her. Unlike a liquid bowel movement, which occurs occasionally, diarrhea tends to be more frequent and more watery liquid (or too thin). Sometimes also it has a foul odor. (The baby being breastfed usually produces a soft poop with a shape that is recognizable, it also has a sweet smell, like butter, or no real smell). The streak of diarrhea can last for several days and is sometimes accompanied by pain with cramps.
Acute diarrhea is common in children; up to 1 in 6 children visit your doctor every year because of an episode. Causes in most cases babies are bacterial or viral infections.
Diarrhea caused by a viral infection may be accompanied by vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, chills and muscle aches. A bacterial infection can be accompanied by cramps, blood in the poop, fever, and perhaps vomiting. Usually, food allergies and a reaction to an antibiotic can cause diarrhea.
Drinking too much juice is also a common cause of diarrhea. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends not giving fruit juice to infants during the first six months, and no more than 4 ounces (118 ml) per day after that age.
Ear infections
Children suffer more ear infections (acute otitis media) than any other disease diagnosed, except for the common cold. 80 to 90 percent of all children suffer from an ear infection before age 3. Some children, not so lucky, suffering from ear infections again and again. Why?
First, your baby is usually to ear infections. The small space rear each eardrum which connected on behind of the throat by a (eustachian tube) thats is tiny channel. Anything that interferes with the function of the Eustachian tube or block the normal drainage of the middle ear, as commonly happens with colds and even allergies, can increase the risk of infection.
Babies tend to suffer from ear infections than young children because the Eustachian tubes are fairly flat on a baby. As the baby's head grows, the tubes acquire a more upright position, so that the liquid can drain more easily.
Your baby will be more likely to get ear infections if exposed to cigarette smoke, if you attend a nursery, bottle feed or when lying. Prolonged pacifier use also appears to increase the risk of this type of infection. And sometimes an ear infection occurs out of nowhere and for no apparent reason.
Common symptoms of an ear infection include:
A sudden change in behavior (crying, irritability).
Older babies can be pulled or rubbing the ears.
Vomiting, usually feel sick, and sometimes diarrhea.
Threw up
Almost all babies vomit at some point. Vomiting is usually stronger and in greater quantity than your baby spits up after eating. If your baby seems distressed when this is happening, probably vomiting. Spitting does not disturb at all to most babies.
Unless there is persistent vomiting is rarely dangerous time and possible causes are many. It may be a sign of an illness (such as viral gastroenteritis, urinary tract infection, an ear infection or something more serious) or due to eating disorders or are simply eating too much.
Other possible causes include allergies, ingesting something toxic, or just coughing or mourn too much. A very fussy baby can literally "sick himself."
It is not easy to determine the exact cause vomiting, so you better also be alert to other symptoms. For example, a viral infection that causes diarrhea usually causes vomiting or fever. Vomiting related to food occurs shortly after meals.
