Throw the baby out with the bath water

"Throw the baby out with the bath water". We all understand that. However, recently, in an African local newspaper (where mistakes sometimes occur!) I read "throw the baby out with the birth water". It means the same thing. I wondered which phrase could be said to be the original?
