That implies to my mind that the baby is a man. Say this instead: *ghu vIlegh; loDHom ghaH.*

You are definitely right, that's more accurate. I had the same thing in mind as well. But then I thought like, hey, I already said it's a BABY. No need to mention the {Hom}-part any more.

I wouldn't want to approach this too much like a math problem. Suffixes aren't exactly like mathematical operators. A loDHom is a different thing than a loD, not just a loD that's had the operation of minorness performed on it.
