For example, you have both parents speaking Polish and English. If a baby was born, what will his or her language be? Does it depend on the location of your birth?

Will the child be bilingual? How does it work?

Babies learn by the languages they hear spoken, not by the languages their genetic parents speak. Languages are passed on via learning, not genes. So to answer your question, any and all languages the baby regularly heard spoken.
