in Rosetta stone there is one place that uses este for a female baby, but esta for a woman. I just wanted to know What is the difference between este and esta in this scenario?
Thank you for your help

'Este' is masculine. The noun bebe is a masculine noun. Mujer however, is feminine, so it uses 'esta'. Both nouns mean "this".

Thank You. I was just confused because the baby was dressed as a girl. - krummea, Sep 18, 2011

Although bebé is masculine regardless of the gender of the infant, the word bebita is often used to speak of the child using her gender.

How do they get posted currently? I need to know this so I won't waste my time on these. - Daniela2041, Jan 22, 2015
It was "dug up" by iwelly above / a newbie with no SD profile - why I have no idea. - ian-hill, Jan 22, 2015
How a newbie knew how to "find" it is also a mystery Dani. - ian-hill, Jan 22, 2015

Be aware though, if talking about something that the baby is wearing the baby's sex does not play a role.
este zapato/estos zapatos
esta media/estas medias
etc
