Help we have black mold around the bath. Is it dangerous? I have a baby...

If it's on tile and grout then it's easy to remove and not dangerous (dangerous when it's on a porous surface like sheetrock where no matter how much you clean it off the spores are still underneath and keep growing).
Just spray with either bleach of bar keepers friend (keep area well vented, baby's bedroom door closed - wear clothes that can get ruined if using bleach and a mask). Let sit. Scrub off with cleaning brush. Wash and rinse.

Yes, black mold is extremely dangerous. And it can get underneath tiles and into the sheet rock. I just replaced an entire bathroom because of mold. It's not something to play around with.

And FYI, from what I've read, bleach doesn't kill mold, it just makes it change direction and run deeper into the surface.
