I checked all the scenes, the baby's just there. It's assumed to have happened off-screen after "that night", from the way the novel portrays it (the one time Carlos, the one time! And you get her pregnant! Nice. Real nice).

All other scenes are dedicated to Banica's descending madness, Elluka and Platonic's misadventures in Beelzenia.

The next time the baby pops up is when Banica is hungry and she realizes there's nothing left to eat in the house, because she ate it all. Then she hears the baby cry, remembers its the one she and Carlos had, then realized it was something to eat so she went after it.

The next scene jumps to her being before the baby and talking to the demon. Banica apparently gets angry at how the demon speaks to her (it's described as desperate and juvenile intimidation in the novel).

"I refuse to be spurned by a demon."

They get into a fight and Banica refuses to eat, the Demon keeps pushing its influence. Banica then sees her hand and realizes there is something to eat besides the child and you know the rest.
