To solve this problem, we first need to understand that the average age is calculated by dividing the total age of all members by the number of members.

1. Three years ago, the average age of the family was 26 years. So, the total age of all the members was 26 years * 5 members = 130 years.

2. In three years, each of the 5 members would have added 3 years to their age. So, the total age of the family members now (without the baby) is 130 years + 3 years * 5 members = 145 years.

3. Now, the family has 6 members (including the baby), and the average age is 25 years. So, the total age of all the members is 25 years * 6 members = 150 years.

4. The difference between the total age now and the total age of the family members without the baby is the baby's age. So, the baby's age is 150 years - 145 years = 5 years.

So, the present age of the baby is 5 years.
