Morphology
The meaning 'a very young male child' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'baby' (very young child) with 'boy' (male child); the constituents together simply specify age plus gender. This noun-noun composition is a basic, cross-linguistically common pattern and will be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Baby boy simply joins baby, meaning a very young child, and boy, meaning a male child, to show the child is a 'male' infant. That's why it means 'a very young male child'.
