No, it does NOT change... ever!
First of all babies actually begin making their own blood while still in the womb before they are born... begins around 1st few weeks along. Their predisposition of blood type is already determined for them by the mother's and the father's type upon conception. The stronger of the two blood types/the dominant one becomes the baby's blood type, or a mix is made. The following are the blood types.
One type let's say is from parent 1+ the other from parent 2
= the baby's blood type.
A+A= A - or - A+O=A
B+B=B, - or - B+O=B
O+O=O (is the Rarest, and universally accepted by all people so it is used for blood transfusions!)
A+B=AB
The only thing besides the types is the Antigens that can vary (The Antigen can be either - or +... (ie. My blood type is A+. I have type A blood and a + Antigen)
This too is determined pre-birth by the dominant one carrying over. It does not change at any point.
I hope this helps.
P.S.: It is important that you not only know your blood type, and that of your loved ones, but also the Antigen of each of them as well. Make a list and carry it in your wallet in case of emergency, along with contact numbers, doctors' numbers, and lists of medications being taken and allergies each person has. Don't forget to add their full names and their Date of births too. If you ever get into an accident and cannot speak, it will tell emergency medical people all they need to know. It could save a life!

a baby has his own blood group almost from the very beginning. Mom could have A and the baby can have B. Blood types don't change.

Uhmm... baby's bodies don't start making blood a few hours after birth... they are born with a fully functioning, internal circulatory system, with their own blood, their own DNA, and their own blood time. This all happens during gestation.

I have never heard of a blood type changing. As you must know, because of Rh risks in mothers, fetus often don't have the same type as their mothers. Again, since the human body is fully developed at birth, the type is set.

No, the blood type that the baby is in utero is the same blood type the baby will be for life.
