What determined the slave status of a newborn in colonial times?
A baby born to a slave was automatically a slave. They were often sold away from mom as young as 3-4 years old.
What was it like for a slave to be taken from Africa and coming to America?
In the book To Be A Slave there are first hand accounts taken from slaves about this. They tell about people dying each night, that they are chained together, that there is little food and water. One accounts that a woman with a small baby while on the deck decided she would rather die than be a slave so she threw herself overboard holding the baby. They drowned. What these people experienced was inhumane and cruel.

Slaves weren't on a vacation with families. All African Americans were slaves no matter if they were a baby or a100 years old. Born a slave died a slave.
