Shaken Baby Syndrome is a term used to describe the constellation of signs and symptoms resulting from violent shaking or shaking and impacting of the head of an infant or small child.

Baby Bottle Syndrome

------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------

Infants can get cavities just like older children, teens, and adults.
Nursing bottle cavities occur when an infant is allowed to fall asleep with a bottle in his or her mouth. If the bottle contains a fermentable carbohydrate, (like pop, sugar water, juice, or milk) and the liquid is allowed to pool around the teeth, the bacteria that are present will form acid, which eventually leads to decay.

Infant methemoglobinemia, also known as "blue baby syndrome," is linked primarily with infants' intake of nitrogen-contaminated well water. Often, the condition may occur when the infant's formula is reconstituted with contaminated water. Infants suffering from blue baby syndrome have skin that turns a blue-gray color, a condition called cyanosis, which is due to a lack of oxygen in the blood.
