Next year on your 2024 return?  Yes you can claim a child born anytime in 2024 on your 2024 return.  You will need to enter their ssn.  When you enter a child on your return be sure to say they lived with you the WHOLE year even if they were born on Dec 31.

Assuming you meet all other tests, you'll be able to claim your baby born in January 2024 on your 2024 taxes that you file in January-April of 2025.
