Infant botulism usually affects babies who are 3 weeks to 6 months old. But all babies are at risk for it until their first birthday. Doctors diagnose infant botulism by asking about the baby's symptoms. They'll do an exam, and might order tests to see how the baby's muscles are working.
Babies with infant botulism need care in a hospital, usually in the intensive care unit ICU. The health care team will try to limit the problems the toxin causes in the baby's body.
