Hello, i am very new here so i do apologize if i am posting in the wrong place.
Our situation is a little bit different than most although i know Im not the only one who has faced it. My wife and i are at the NVC stage and we have an 8 month old baby girl. Our baby girl was born in Cuba and currently resides with her momma but she DOES have her US passport and certitificate of citizenship because we took care of this as soon as she was born. 
Upon filling the i-130 petition for my wife , she was just entering the first weeks of her pregnancy so we did not include any information about it on the i-130 petition, nonetheless we were approved within 7 months thank God. Now that we are at NVC stage i am confused if there is any paperwork that i need to file for our baby as well. Like , do i need to file an affidavit of support for my baby as well regardless of not filing a petition for her or is there any form i need to file for her at all? I the petitioner (dad) am a US citizen,
or for our baby is it as easy as purchasing plane tickets and bringing her over since she has her US citizenship?
As stated i am very new here and will greatly appreciate any guidance. Thanks to all and best regards

If your child has a US passport, he/she is a US citizen, and no affidavit of support needed for the child.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

As said, your baby is already a USC so no need to petition and no need to provide AOS. While filling DS-260, your spouse will provide info of her where it asks for any children and check “NO” where it asks “Is the child immigrating with you”.

thank you so much and the others who replied.
a quick question about this because currently i am filing the ds 260 form for her. in that section you stated to check NO, i am a little confused. Would i not have to check YES as our baby WILL be flying with her momma to reside with us here in the US? again thank you for you help , very much appreciated

You would answer YES if the question was “Is the child traveling/flying/coming with you?”. The point is immigrating. Your USC baby girl is not immigrating to the US the same way you are not immigrating. One doesn’t immigrate to their own country.

one last question in regards to our situation if that is okay.

So after the interview and obtaining momma's visa , would i simply obtain plane tickets for our little one so she can fly over with us?

YMMV
