Answer:
The sentence does not express a transitive action.
“The baby” is not doing anything to the state of “sleeping.”
Compare “the baby bit my finger” where “the baby” did do something to “my finger.”
“Is” is the verb and it is not a transitive verb. It is a form of “be” and that verb (“be”) expresses a state of things, a state of being. That should help you remember that “be” is a stative verb, and stative verbs are not transitive.
