I adore babies and kids, but...seriously? Her baby in a session? That's really, really weird. I'm assuming that she had no childcare and rather than cancel, she brought her baby to the session. But... Unless it's the child who is in therapy, having a child in the therapy room is so inappropriate for everyone involved, and crosses so many boundaries. I mean, if she was a surgeon would she bring her kid into surgery with her?

Hopefully bringing her child to session is not a regular thing?

As for session length, it's annoying and upsetting when they are inconsistent like that. I think 50 minutes is too short, but that's the standard for a therapy session. 38 minutes is really short. My T once mentioned that she sees most clients for 30 minutes, I wonder how anyone can get anything done in such a short time.

I refrain from suggesting that someone finds a different therapist. You know her and I don't know what her treatment plan for you is. But I will say that she sounds unprofessional to me. To say the least.
