Yes, I understood that & agree... but Salman said that a fetus is *not* a child or a baby, implying that "child" and "baby" are strictly defined terms related to stages of development (like embryo), which they aren't. I am 28 years old, but I am still my parents' child. I was also their child at 10 weeks gestation.

I agree with you. In fact, if my two years of Latin in Middle School still serve (decades ago), 'foetus' is translated 'little child' rather than little one.
