The English phrase "baby girl" is translated into Greek as κοριτσάκι (koritsáki).

κοριτσάκι is used to refer to a very young female child.

Which one should you use?

You may use νεογέννητο κορίτσι if you specifically mean a "newborn girl".

The word κοριτσάκι follows the neuter gender pattern for diminutives. Because of this, its plural form is κοριτσάκια (baby girls).

koritsáki

In some Greek dialects, the diminutive -άκι can be used ironically or sarcastically to describe something that is actually very large, not just for a 'baby girl'.
Greek has a separate, highly formal word for 'daughter' κόρη which is feminine, contrasting with the neuter κορίτσι used for a 'girl'.
The diminutive suffix -άκι used in κοριτσάκι changes the gender of any noun it attaches to into the neuter gender. This rule applies regardless of whether the original word was masculine or feminine.
