If a woman gave birth after Kaparos but before Yom Kippur, should Kaparos be redone on the baby?
This matter requires further analyses.[1] However, some Poskim[2] conclude that she is not required to repeat the Kaparos on the infant.

[1] See Hiskashrus 948 footnote 17 that perhaps the atonement for a pregnant woman is not for the fetus but for the woman, and hence once the child is born he needs his own atonement.
