make a duplicate layer, do the levels adjustment (ctrl L), move the bars until the background turns solid black and erase the baby so that the background is black and the baby is the original layer.
I shot on navy fleece and made the background black in photoshop for a couple of my infants.

My MPIX Friends--You Have My Permission To Play
My motto: well said by several very smart MPIXERS...
"Self-imposed limitations can be as crippling as debt. Photographers who have convinced themselves that clients won’t pay what is a reasonable price for their photography, often are merely projecting their own self-limiting values, but this can be a critical business mistake. A businessperson must be confident that he or she is providing value to clients, and that clients, in turn, will exchange that value for their hard-earned money. If this confidence is lacking, it is difficult to become successful in business......." because if you do EVERYTHING else right you are still DOA if you don't see the value of your work
