Yes, babies absolutely have gills, it is how an unborn baby breathes while inside of the womb. Research suggests that when a baby is berthed in a bath, a pool, a lake, an ocean, or any other type of water environment, the gills take action and allow the baby to breathe in air, even when surrounded by water (Mculoch et al. 2010). The Sea Gypsies are a prime example of this, these people have developed their gills their entire lives, and could basically live under water if they really wanted to.

How long before you can tell what type of fish a baby is?
If your baby starts to develop gills at 4 months gestation then you can assume your baby is going to be a deep sea diver. If you see fins before 4 months or before gills in general I advise brutal abortion of the baby. A hard kick to the stomach will kill anything in there. funny, but i take good care of my freshwater fish and tank that i really wanted a serious answer to my question. I thought this was the place for that. sorry
