You can claim child as dependent for personal exemption and child tax credit
for 2011 if your baby is born in 2011 or before. If you send the baby to
day care(day care has to have tax ID or something like that),you can claim
the day care expenses on your tax return.

Families can claim up to $3,000 in dependent care expenses for one child/
dependent and $6,000 for two children/dependents per year. The credit is
worth between 20 percent and 35 percent of these expenses, depending on a
family’s income. Eligible families with adjusted gross income (AGI) of $15,
000 or less can claim 35 percent of these expenses for a maximum potential
credit of $2,100. The percentage of expenses a family can claim steadily
decreases as income rises, until families with AGI of $43,000 or more reach
the minimum claim rate of 20 percent, qualifying for a maximum potential
credit of $1,200.

Does it require that both parents have jobs?
You can't claim child card expense if one parent does not work, right?
