A baby probably won't get sick from eating/digesting their own poop, after all, it came out of them. And the nutritional value is pretty low, they've already digested it once. They are much more likely to catch diseases from someone else's or some animals. Answer: Forget the other answer! Yes, a baby can get VERY sick from eating poop, especially if it's not their own! Feces contains many harmful substances!
