Birth defects are structural abnormalities that affect the development of organs and tissues of an infant or child. Also a health problem or physical change, which is present in a baby at the time he or she is born.

Birth defects may be very mild in which the baby looks and acts like any other baby, or birth defects may be very severe, and you can immediately tell there is a problem. Some birth defects can be so severe that a baby may live only a few months or die at a young age.
