Hi,
I've looked on the Net what "baby sister" means but couldn't find it. Does it mean the youngest sister in the family or just a younger sister? Thank you.

It means a sister who is a baby.

It's usually the youngest sister in a family. But she is not necessarily a baby in age. After she grows up, she will be an adult, but she will also always be the baby sister. Wink

That is also true although it usually conjures up the image of a baby.

My husband's baby sister is 60 years old. He can still refer to her fondly in that way.
