وَطِفْلُ and the child
The leading 'and' is a connector that ties this new statement onto the previous one and keeps both on the same grammatical footing. The noun itself is the first half of a possessive pairing: it is left bare of 'the' precisely because it draws its definiteness from the owning word that follows, which is how Arabic builds 'the X of Y' by placing the two nouns side by side.
