Morphology
The core idea — a child's mother — is directly derivable from 'baby' + 'mama', so a B1 learner who knows both words would likely guess it refers to the mother of a baby. However, the expression is slangy and carries specific social/relational connotations (often implying non‑marriage or non‑cohabitation and sometimes pejorative usage) that are not predictable from the constituents alone, so full meaning requires cultural/pragmatic knowledge.
Etymology
Baby mama likely comes from informal speech where people shortened 'mother of my baby' to the simple words baby and mama, joined together as baby mama. So, baby mama means 'the mother of a man's child', often used when the parents are 'not married or living together'.
