Miss Maudie says this when the Finches and she are discussing the outcome of Tom Robinson's trial. Since the jury didn't come to an automatic verdict of 'guilty' right away but actually deliberated over it for quite a long time, she considers this as progress and a positive step towards real justice, however small it may be. Atticus adds that although he cannot be sure who it was, at least one person on the jury took an initial stance for Tom's innocence, and he thinks that person was Mr. Cunningham. He guesses this from the awkward writing on the slip of paper used to write the verdict.
Atticus plans to make an appeal, but as the story turns out, he never gets the chance to do so. Tom tries to escape while being transferred to another jail and is shot down and killed.

Miss Maudie says this after Atticus makes the jury stay out longer than expected in the Tom Robinson trial. She views the fact that the jury did not immediately convict Tom Robinson as a small, positive step towards fairness and justice in the deeply prejudiced society of Maycomb.

It is because they were talking about prejudice and saying that Atticus has made a baby step because it took the jury over 5 hours to decide that Tom is guilty whereas normally it would take less then 20 minutes, showing that they are a taking baby steps are becoming a county with no racism
