An affirmative statement or acknowledgement of information.
A jovial retort.

Roots, if they must be traced, are archaic and are in reference to one's "baby maker" (that you are putting your mouth near it/on it).
One is so much in agreement with the other person that they would preform oral sex with each other.

Not a threat, although new mothers don't favor this term. Use discretion with your slang.
The negative form is also easy to use:

"I am NOT biting your baby".

Other forms exist such as:
"I'm gnawing your toddler"
"Chomping your child."

Used usually to add variety by those that are already familiar with "biting your baby".
