Here is a partial quote from an article in the Christian Science Monitor that I think explains it.

"Baby Doc" Duvalier became the successor to the regime in 1971 when at the age of 19 he took over from his father, "Papa Doc" François Duvalier (indeed, he started off as a physician). As the following five slides attest, Baby Doc's infamy precedes him.

- Stephen Kurczy, Staff writer

I guess since his father was know as the "Papa Doc", it only befitting that he be called, "Baby Doc".
