The re-mastered edition of the audio track is not the original track from the film. The original track contained the actual sounds made by David Mooney during the filming. The baby sounds came from his performance and not canned baby sounds. The original track must have been lost and later baby sounds were added.
David Mooney observed children with special needs in special schools to research his role as Baby.

"Ann Gentry: What about the family income? Mrs. Wadsworth: Just what the county gives us for Baby. Ann Gentry: Your daughters, are they employed? Mrs. Wadsworth: Are my daughters... no, they help out the best they can, but it doesn't come to too much. Alba gives tennis lessons in the afternoon and Jermaine... Germaine Wadsworth: Once in a while I do a TV commercial. Mrs. Wadsworth: Sometimes I don't know how we make ends meet, but we always seem to manage. Ann Gentry: Isn't there any money from your husband's pension? Or his social security? Mrs. Wadsworth: Why no, how could there be? Germaine Wadsworth: [laughs] She thinks he's dead. Mrs. Wadsworth: [laughs] That man didn't die. Germaine Wadsworth: No such luck. Mrs. Wadsworth: It happened just before Baby was born. When I needed him most, he ran off and left us. But then all that's in the record. Ann Gentry: Oh I'm sure it is. Mrs. Wadsworth: My husband was a very weak man, Mrs. Gentry. Germaine Wadsworth: No character. Mrs. Wadsworth: None at all. Ann Gentry: And you've had no contact with him since he left? Mrs. Wadsworth: As far as I'm concerned, he might as WELL be dead."
"Ann Gentry: You do this every day, Mrs. Wadsworth? Mrs. Wadsworth: Have to, or the muscles'll go bad. Ann Gentry: His legs seem perfectly normal, I'm surprised he doesn't walk."
