The mistake you have made is that for a newborn you have to say the child lived with you the WHOLE YEAR. You say that in My Info---and the screens actually tell you that. You need to correct that so that you get the child-related credits on your 2021 return.
Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number. If your child was born in 2021make sure you said he lived with you the whole year. There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support. Say NO to that question.
In order to get the childcare credit you must also show income from each parent if you are filing a joint return. Make sure the W-2's are entered under the correct names; if one of you has self-employment income that shows a loss you cannot get the credit.
