Mould is not good for you. It is a fungi, a living creature on your wall.
Can cause allergies, asthma attacks, and other illnesses.
Get some mould remover and sort it out.

Molds and their spores can produce toxins. They can become airborn and you and your family will come in contact with them either through breathing or physical contact - without you even knowing it as they are so small they could be in any surface. Mold can create many serious health problems apart from the obvious ones like respiratory illnesses. You might even eat them if they get on to your food.
Even if the house was tested - mold can still appear especially when you keep the house all closed up in winter as moisture is trapped inside the house. One simple way to minimise the chance of it appearing is to get SOME fresh air in the house once in a while rather than keeping the same stale air recycling. I can appreciate that this is harder for some especially if you live in an area where it gets very cold in winter.

Mould, as you know, grows in damp conditions. You notice it more in winter time because very often there are no windows open and mould loves a lovely damp atmosphere. I would suggest that you open the windows, even a little bit to let some air into the room. As for affecting your baby, mould can be quite harmful, not just for babies, but adults also. It can cause breathing problems. This is due to spores from the mould which get into the atmosphere and then breathed in. If you are worried about your baby, take him to the doctor and explain about the mould. Hope this helps and that your baby is okay.

I once lived in a house that had terrible dampness and black mould on the walls. It ruined a lot of furniture and clothing and in the winters my daughter had terrible asthma because of it. As soon as I moved out of the house the asthma went away and she has never been bothered by it since.

Before you move, take pictures of the mold. That way if there are any long term affects on your families health you have proof of where you got it. Make sure the pictures are shot in such a way that there can be no doubt what house it is at. Take closeups and longshots.

The mold is usually a combination of saprophytic fungus and saprophytic bacteria that establish themselves in the interstices (tiny wee cracks) in the walls.
Long-term exposure is known to cause many health problems including those already mentioned in Answers as well as lesions (like small cuts) in the lung, leading to respiratory problems such as chronic asthma, breathlessness and related ailments.

He may or may not develop sensitivity or allergy to molds. Only time will tell.

You do not sound English, if you have come here and been given a house then be grateful. If you are English then suggest you get some education and you can buy your own house then.
