When you mention the baby being dunked in water, it made me think of the water that holds the baby in the womb. The water broke, so to speak, and put the baby in a vulnerable position. The baby was out of its safety zone.
The baby could be a part of yourself that has been buried and forgotten in your subconscious but has "resurfaced." The part where it looks at your with piercing eyes is that it is something that has plagued you probably since childhood and is something that hasn't been dealt with on a conscious level. The fact that you pulled it out of the water suggest it's an issue that you want to discuss with someone. Since it was the baby's mother that threw it in, could the issue have something to do with your mother?
