Babies born to mothers infected with Chlamydia trachomatis can suffer from early infant pneumonia and conjunctivitis. It is important for pregnant women to be tested and treated for chlamydia to prevent complications in newborns.
The CDC recommends that all babies born to HIV-infected mothers be treated with antipneumonia drugs beginning at four--six weeks and continuing until the infant is found to be HIV-negative.
Babies born to mothers infected with the Zika virus in Brazil have been affected by a condition called microcephaly, which causes abnormally small heads and potential developmental delays. This has led to long-term health and developmental challenges for these babies.
Some babies are born with HIV as their mothers were positive. Infants could get HIV by receiving a transfusion of infected blood.
Rubella (German measles) is a mild, three day infection that seldom leads to complications in children. However, rubella may cause birth deformities in babies born to mothers who are infected during pregnancy. Measles (rubeola) is a serious disease and is sometimes called "hard," "red," or "seven day measles." Individuals infected with measles frequently suffer from ear infections and/or pneumonia.

Babies get chlamydia during vaginal birth to an infected mother. They don't get infected before birth. An infected baby must be treated.
Tiger babies suckle milk from their mothers.
Pneumonia often kills babies and the elderly. I had pneumonia last winter. Pneumonia made me cough and I couldn't breathe well.
In babies who get chlamydia after birth to infected mothers, babies may have conjuncitivitis (pinkeye) that shows up after a week or so. Those with pneumonia caused by chlamydia trachomatis can have a cough, rapid breathing, and abnormal x-ray. Children with chlamydia trachomatis pneumonia appear to be more likely to have asthma later in life. Children who get chlamydia from sexual abuse have the same types of symptoms, or, more commonly, lack of symptoms, as adults with chlamydia.
They nurse their babies. Like all mammals, they give their babies milk.
