you mean you want to apply for a child or you child is born after the I-130 was sent? I just add his birth certificate in the documents

There is an option to add or remove someone on the ceac portal. You will need to add the child and upload the birth certificate. NVC will review it, if it's approved you will be asked to proceed with the DS260 fee

First when was your Child born? Do you have a lawyer? How to Legally Add Children to Approved Family Immigration Petitions for Foreign National Parents Immigration Status of Children Born, Adopted or Added After a Form I-130 Approval Children of foreign nationals often come to the U.S. as derivatives of the petition filed for the foreign national parent. This means that the U.S. sponsor does not need to submit a separate I-130 petition for each child. They simply need to list their names on the petition for the foreign national parent. However, each child must file their visa application separately after USCIS approves the I-130 petition. Sometimes a child will be born, adopted, or otherwise added to the family after USCIS approves the I-130 petition. This is especially likely when the foreign national faces a long wait before applying for a visa. The U.S. sponsor may wonder whether they can add the child to the petition after approval, or whether they need to file a new petition. This would force the child to immigrate later than the rest of the family, based on the later filing date of the petition. However, a child born to the foreign national after the I-130 is approved but before their visa is approved can come at the same time as the other family members. The foreign national will need to provide the child’s birth certificate and the I-130 approval to the consular official.
