The problem is that there are an infinite number of directions that are going north. Going north parallell to the ground is not the same direction as an upwards or downwards path. You can have any inclination between (-pi/2, pi/2) and still be going north. If you don’t specify the inclination, it is likely to be assumed to be zero, i.e. the baby is moving parallell to the earths normal plane, but it’s it is uncertain. That’s why you need two vectors in 3d space.

Or 5.999… It’s equal to 6 but it appears to have a much more impressive decimal expansion
So “16.4 mph north” is sufficient.
No, it’s not. “North” is a two dimensional direction on the surface of the earth. But we live, and can throw babies, in three dimension. Therefore you need to specify the inclination as well. “56 furlongs per minute, north, 0.3 radians” would suffice.

Besides, you’ll get the most one-sided story ever

You can absolutely render out an oil of sorts from human adipose tissue. This may happen after we die under certain circumstances and can be found as adipocere, aka corpse wax.
