Best Answer

According to the Rebirth wiki, which by no means claims absolute correctness but could be a nice indicator:

  • God Head
  • Lost Baby
  • Cute Baby
  • Crow Baby
  • Shadow Baby
  • Glass Baby
  • Wrapped Baby
  • Begotten Baby
  • Dead Baby
  • -0- Baby
  • Glitch Baby
  • Fighting Baby

All of them except for Godhead are for beating Mom's Heart in Hard Mode with various characters.

As for Godhead:

Godhead is unlocked by beating the Chest, Dark Room and Boss Rush with The Lost.

Hardmode unlocks will include both Normal mode and Hardmore unlocks, yes. If you're playing solely for completion purposes there is no reason to play Normal. That said, Hardmode mostly just unlocks new co-op babies for local co-op, so you're not really getting anything useful out of playing it.
