When news reports say "so and so gave birth today to a baby girl". Why do they say "baby" girl? What, do they think they have to say that because people might think she gave birth to an ADULT girl? So they need to specifically say "baby" girl?
This has always bugged me.

Laughs! Me too! It's one of those oxymorons (emphasis on 'moron') like 'Army Intelligence', 'small crowd', and 'jumbo shrimp' that drive me up the wall.

Ha ha - "army intelligence" LOL!
I love oxymorons...... they are wonderfully colourful in the language.
