The answer would be rubeola

The small reddish spots in the baby's mouth could be 
Koplik's spots that were pathognomonic for rubeola. The infection also causes reddish spots/rash that starts from face to the body with flu-like symptoms. All of them is the signs of rubeola(also known as measles) infection.
