The way I’m reading this is that I’m turned into a baby in this moment. Why is it everyone else is assuming time travel?

Your option means to probably just die. Assuming it's a 0 second old baby, you're not going to be able to take care of yourself or move around to get help. You'll just lie there and starve. Traveling back to your birth means you're with your parents.
