The Baby is an enemy encountered in Cry of Fear, specifically in the apartments, after getting the key to the "Neighbor Across". It is the weakest enemy in the whole game.
About the Monster
The Baby has no real purpose other than to ambush the player. They charge at Simon upon seeing him, and subsequently thrust a spike out of their head, killing themselves in the process. While easy to dispatch, they are often quick enough to score a few hits, which can be notably detrimental on harder difficulties.
Relevance to Simon
The Babies may represent the babies of the mothers in the apartments that Simon may find "annoying" and "loud" probably because of repeated crying.
The Babies also attack Simon via suicide. This could be seen as a parallel to how Simon planned to attack others before killing himself like in the first, second and third ending.
