If you don't touch NewBornGallery.xml, your default_view will be
base_view (Products/Archetypes/skins/archetypes/base_view.pt). Take a
look at that template, if you name your intended default_view
"newbornbaby_view", base_view will be able to pick it up (provided you
put your markup in a "body" macro).

paster cannot know.

You can just run the "Types Tool" import step in the import tab in the
portal_setup tool (zmi) (don't forget to select your extension profile
first).

You can also directly edit the fti for your type in the portal_types
tool (again, zmi). If you do this, do not forget to also record the
changes in your generic setup profile (this would be
profiles/default/types/NewBornGallery.xml).
