Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from the constituents: 'baby' (small/immature) modifies 'dick' (vulgar term for penis) to indicate a small penis, and by pragmatic extension an immature or contemptible person. This compositional pattern (modifier indicating smallness/immaturity + body-part insult) is straightforward and predictable for a learner who knows both words, despite the expression's slang/vulgar register.
Etymology
The slang baby dick combines baby and dick to create a vivid image of a 'small penis'. That's why people use it as a rude insult for someone they see as 'immature' or 'weak'.
