This all depends on the citizentship of your baby. If your baby does not have citizenship to the country he/she is migrating too the yes you will need to fill for the baby if you have not.

A child of a greencard holder born abroad must have a visa.

How does this work in practice? In other words, if the beneficiary in F2A category is pregnant at the time of interview, is granted the visa but decides to give birth in her home country before travelling to the US, is the child still entitled to a derivative visa on the basis of the mother's petition? Or must the child be born before the interview in order to be added to the original petition?
