The ‘baby hair’ you are reporting in the balding area is what we call ‘miniaturized hair’ which means that the hair shaft is reduced in diameter and takes on the fine baby hair appearance we had at birth. This is a process that precedes the final balding stage. If the miniaturization is caught early enough, there are medications (like Propecia) which may reverse the process. Near the end of the loss process, it would be unlikely that the hair can be brought back. As the process you are describing sounds like the end stage of the loss, then the only solution may be hair transplantation. This is well defined on newhair.com, which has hundreds of photos of men who have had the hair moved into the balding area from other parts of the head.
