Ms Featherstone worked with Mrs May in the Home Office for two years and has been a minister for international development since 2012.
In other Lib Dem ministerial changes, Jenny Willott and Mark Hunter have also left the government.
Mr Baker criticised the way Mrs May ran her department and accused the Conservatives of a "lurch to the right" after stepping down as minister for crime prevention.
The Conservatives have disputed this and questioned Mr Baker's own performance in the job.
'Talented team'
However, both parties have insisted that the coalition will remain intact until the general election.
Mr Baker's departure has prompted a mini-reshuffle with Ms Featherstone returning to the department where she worked between 2010 and 2012.
Her job at international development has been taken by Baroness Northover. In other changes, two other MPs - Jenny Willott and Mark Hunter - have left their positions as government whips.
Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said he had a "first-rate ministerial team" at his disposal.
"The Liberal Democrats are extremely fortunate to have a large number of talented people on our benches ready to step into their shoes," he said.
"Lynne Featherstone has been an exceptional minister over the last four and a half years and returns to the Home Office, where her tough but liberal approach will be invaluable."
