Child credit / claiming

So my address is at my mother's place, but I've stayed elsewhere for the past 9 months. My girlfriend is having a baby Dec 24th, and I plan on claiming my baby on my taxes this upcoming tax year.  Do I have to be head of household to claim my baby? My address is my moms but I don't pay anything there and she doesn't pay for anything for me. I'm not on my gf's lease so I can't claim the baby at her address or it could mess with her taxes
