Is it OK to say: "I have to get my baby dressed" ? Or how do you express the idea of putting on clothes on someone, either if it is a baby, an animal, a person with a decease, unable to get dress by him/her self? And what is the difference between "I dressed the kids before going to work" and "I get the kids dressed"? Well, I read the first sentence in a Longman dictionary, but the second one I just made it up...

That's fine.

Some corrections:

No space before a question mark.
Either is usually used with only 2 items. better would be changing "either if it is" to "whether it be".
A person does not have a "decease", he/she has a "disease".
It should be "unable to get dressed".
