Same as in adults, bacteria. Except that we don't wear diapers that makes the perfect condition for a yeast infection - warm and damp.

What is the causes of yeast infections?
A yeast infection is caused when your body's "bad" bacteria become unbalanced and thus, the catalyst of a yeast infection. Basically, yeast infections occur when there's an overgrowth of fungus or yeast Candida in the vaginal area. Even though you naturally have a small amount of yeast living in the vagina, once it grows out of control is when it becomes a problem. Also women with suppressed immune systems are more prone to yeast infections. If you're taking antibiotics, that also has the potential to cause a yeast infection. The causes of yeast infections vary from person to person, but the above are the most common causes!
Can you catch yeast infection from another person?
No. Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of a yeast that naturally exists in the vagina. Since you already have that yeast in you so you can't be "infected" by anyone else. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In fact the yeast, Candida, can be spread. That is how infants often get it - by putting things in their mouth. As someone who has dealt with massive yeast infections while nursing both my children, I can attest to the fact that the infection can be spread. I'm not positive that you can catch it from a toilet seat, but there are other ways to get it besides plain overgrowth and other places to get it besides the vagina.
