Tipsy baby (6)
I believe the answer is:
tiddly
This clue might be a double definition.
'tipsy' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'baby' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tiddly that I've seen before include "Squiffy, pixilated" , "Diminutive - drunk" , "Drunk (as winks?)" , "drop of booze could make one this" , "Woozy" .)
