Only if your wife is an open case of TB which basically means that she had sputum positive for AFB bacteria. In that case she has to keep distance not only from your baby but also from other family members.

Try to adopt cough hygine. Start proper medication. After proper medication most patients become non infectious after 15 days. There should be proper ventilation in rooms.
