Chepstow Union Workhouse (General)

My great grandmother's sister Ruth Jenkins born at st briavels 1884 and died at chepstow 1901, buried at St Briavels 25 May 1901 (Parish Records)is listed as an inmate at the Chepstow Union Workhouse in the 1901 Wales Census aged 17. Also Listed is a baby Gertrude Ellen Jenkins. Is it likely that this is Ruth's Baby?

Does anybody Know What Happened to babies in the workhouse when they are orphaned?
