I graduated college in June. I live with dad. Gave birth to a child in April. Dad pays insurance/living expenses. He claimed me/daughter. Do I list my child on 1040?

No, you do not list your child on your own tax return.  You say you and your child are being claimed as dependents on your father's return.  A dependent cannot have a dependent.  You can file your own tax return to seek a refund of tax withheld from your own earnings, but you need to say in My Info that you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return.
