We used to discuss this after the book was out, and some people 
thought exactly like you, but some (me included) believed that 
the "baby" was the last one eighth part of LV's soul, the one that 
was left in him after all his soul-dividing and Horcrux-creating 
experiments :-). 

Since then, JKR confirmed this point of view on her website. Here is 
what she says about the "baby": "It is the last piece of soul 
Voldemort posesses. When Voldemort attacks Harry, they both fall 
temporarily unconscious, and both their souls - Harry's undamaged and 
healthy, Voldemort's stunted and maimed - appear in the limbo where 
Harry meets Dumbledore". You can find this answer in the FAQ section 
of the website. Hope I convinced you :-),
