Congratulations on the new baby!!
First & foremost apply for Social Security number as you will need one to claim the child as dependent.
Yes, you will be eligible for Child tax credit of up to $2000, EITC (depending on income), Child & dependent care credit for daycare & nanny expenses. You can start saving up for college by contributing to 529 plans & also start a Kid IRA as soon as your child starts earning income.
