The usual recipe works pretty well, even for babies, the only difference
is the length... My usual recipe is to figure out gauge for something
stockinette that'll fit around the foot, knit that in a rib for the ankle
and above, then use half of the stitches to make a heel flap (about as
deep as a quarter of your total width), turn the heel, knit up the edges
of the flap and the first half of the original stitches and then decrease
every other row until they're back at the original number and then see if
it's toe shaping time for a baby sock.  Maybe a couple of rows before
shaping the toe, but not usually *nearly* as many as for an adult sock.
