If you're in the manchester area then you can see a replica of the Baby at the Museum of Science and Technology [1] in Manchester. Entrance is free, donation encouraged. As far as I know the original no longer exists.

And then wander down to the other end of Deansgate and check out the John Rylands library [2] - an incredibly impressive gothic building stuffed full of old books, and whose blog the article is on.

I have read that the Baby was disassembled and parts of it used to build the Mark 1. The Baby had been a proof of concept system for the Mark 1 design.
