The baby in question was not cut in half, but was a question posed to two women claiming to be the mothers of a child. When King Solomon challenged his guard to divide the child equally to both mothers "cut the child in half" the real mother screamed that she was not the mother and begged to let the other woman (not the real mother) have the child. This let the King know who the real mother was. Only the real mother loved the baby enough to be willing to give up her right to the child to save the child's life. King Solomon awarded the child to the real mother. 1 Kings 3:16-28.
