leave

Hi,
Would you please tell me which is correct? If both are correct and have the same meaning, which is natural?
1. You must not leave the baby crying.
2. You must not leave the crying baby.
Thanks in advance.
Have a good day.

1. You must not leave the baby crying.( = you must not leave the baby while he/she is crying).
2. You must not leave the crying baby. ( = you must not leave the baby who is crying).
