I think I understood the drift with the baby.
Death Stranding happens in many periods of time. The Norman Reedus sequence is set in a future in which the world has been destroyed and the malevolent being from the "Black Hole" army are powerful enough to appear in the sky, chasing after Norman Reedus.
Norman Reedus escaped from a facility (handcuffs), and here is my theory: he has special abilities or knowledge but was captured in order to grow a clone baby of himself from his own womb (therefor same DNA, biological footprint etc...). This baby is connected through consciousness/soul to his former self, when Norman was a baby himself in the past, which is the one Guillermo DelToro is holding.
When not "activated" the baby appears crying in Norman Reedus arms. When activated he disappears but Norman Reedus appears to be crying and crumbling on his legs like a baby as if consciousness/soul was swapped between the two.
That's why when Guillermo "activates" the baby, the baby doesn't seem to be crying or having baby gimmicks (despite the weird "oh, a baby, cute" voices) but rather to be looking straight like an adult: Norman Reedus adult consciousness/soul was transferred into this baby pod, of which the baby's consciousness was swapped with the Norman Reedus of the future.
If you get my drift, I think Death Stranding is happening on different time period, all connected, and the name "blackhole" seem to suggest that a military group experimentation opened a "bridge" to another dimension (kind of like in Stephen Kings' Myst) through which came this black oil parasited being, who themselves have the capacity to materialise in different eras through hosts that are either fresh and in good state like Mad Mikkelsen or already rotten by some dark parasites.
And Guillermo who seem to have been the victim of a brain experimentation probably to pursue this kind of capability, is trying to save the Norman Reedus baby, linked through this pod to his future self, for some reasons of power, destiny or knowledge. I guess a third trailer, depending on when it's set, could reinforce or deny this theory of time, but as far as the baby is concerned, given classical philosophical, sci-fi literary or modern culture references, is probably what is happening in the logic of the trailers. What do you think?
Also here is William Blake poem mentioning, infants, new-born, soldier, oil, the thame and black'ning (and of course don't take into account crappy first degree interpretation of very profound occult poesie like on this site): http://ift.tt/2ioT4Ll
