No--nothing wrong with the baby---it was just born into this world which is a fallen state--away from God. So, since the baby fell from God, Christ atoned so the baby could rise again to God.

Think of it like a drop of water that came from the mountains. There is nothing wrong with the water droplet as it makes its way to the sea---but it needs heat for evaporation to make it into a cloud and wind to carry it back to the mountain. The water is fine, but cannot move back uphill on its own power.

Likewise the baby is fine, but needs power outside of itself to get back where it came from.
