Babies do not 'get' blood from their mothers. There is a separation between the mother's blood and the baby's blood. Mixing of parental and fetus' blood is a potentially a fatal condition if the blood types are not the same. Fatal for the baby, for sure, and potentially for the mother as well. What happens is that there is a transfer of oxygen and nutrients across the semi-permeable membranes that separate the two systems. If the baby did not receive these nutrients it would starve and die.
