In Death Stranding, the "baby" (a Bridge Baby, or BB) is a fetus from a brain-dead "stillmother" kept in a special pod, serving as Sam Porter Bridges' essential tool to detect invisible ghosts called Beached Things (BTs) by linking to the world of the dead.

Why can't hilichurls take off their mask?

Hilichurls wear masks because they are cursed beings, remnants of Khaenri'ah, who cannot bear to see their own hideous, transformed faces in reflections, experiencing deep despair or horror at their lost humanity; the masks prevent them from seeing their ghastly appearance, which is a grotesque mix of skull-like features and shadowy forms, often with vacant eyes. They've lost their memories and true identities, becoming monstrous entities feared even by Dainsleif, and removing the mask would force them to confront their cursed reality, leading to torment or death.
