This trope is about size of baby relative to size of \'\'adult\'\', not relative to humans. It\'d be just as valid if a mother the size of a planet has a baby the size of a city, or if a mother the size of a baseball has a baby the size of a sesame seed. Making the baby able to interact with humans more easily is the usual reason \'\'why\'\' it\'s used in fiction, but it\'s not mandatory that the human characters and the baby be particularly similar in size.

In any case, the kaiju fetus\\\'s ability to follow its human target through the streets, unhindered by the need to kick over buildings as it moves, is still a case where its smaller size facilitates it interacting with (in this case, trying to eat) a human character. Its mother was so large that she couldn\\\'t really have chased him around, just stomped things in hope of crushing him.
