You need to put the baby in her own tank. Even though you might not be able to see it, the baby is totally intimidated by the adult and is not eating because of it. This is very common when two leopard geckos are housed together and one is smaller than the other. I'm pretty sure that is the whole problem, I really do. Just give her her own tank and a lot of small (her size) hide boxes and in a few days I bet she's eating fine.
When she is full grown you can try putting them together again, but watch for fights. Also of course, if the baby turns out to be a male, there will be other issues if you house them together, but that's in the future Let us know how it goes!
