#5981 – Baby Talk!

One should recite the Shehechiyanu Bracha upon the birth of a baby boy or girl during the Three Weeks, since this Bracha cannot be pushed off until after the Three Weeks.

Nitei Gavriel 17:19, Avnei Yishpeh 5:80 based on Maharil 31 who says the restriction of saying shehechiyanu is only on a beracha that can wait until after.
