In fact, the game assumes that the baby is attached to the adults hand, specifically to the so called Stigmata bone (if you have ever created in-game poses with accessories you will have probably encountered the term). However, you will stumble upon a problem: Since the baby is attached to the adult sim in game, the position of the baby rig in Blender is a completely different one than the position of the baby in the Gallery picture: In principle, you can now get started, create your baby pose and import it to the game files.

For each of those poses there are 2 files - 1 file for the adult and 1 file for the baby: There are 5 Gallery poses where the adult holds the baby. Adult Rig holding the Baby (”Proud Parent” pose).To spare you some of the trouble I also uploaded various files: This tutorial explains how to export the baby rig from Sims 4 Studio and create Gallery poses with babies.
