It would probably be best to put the baby in a small enclosure, no bigger then 5-10 gallons. Use a clean substrate, such as paper towel and clean fake plants and leaves to let him hide. Though babies usually do not eat until the first shed you can always offer small amounts of baby food or pinheads kept in a small plastic container so that they do not escape and stress out the baby. Good luck!
