Yes, you can claim your child who was born in 2018.  When you enter her information in My Info be sure to say she lived with you the WHOLE year.  You need to say that for a newborn so that you can get all of the child-related credits that you qualify for.  You need her Social Security number.

Congrats on your baby girl!

I am assuming you have income you earned during the year, in order to qualify for the above mentioned credits.
