You cannot do international travel without a passport (with some exceptions like schengen area and us-canada border). This applies to a newborn baby also.
If the baby is born overseas, you can approach respective embassy to get passport. If birthright citizenship does apply (eg: USA), then the current country can also issue passport to the baby.
Visa is given for a passport. Without passport, you cannot get a visa.

US babies need a passport and visa. There was a time when babies could be on a parentβs passport - but no more.
If a baby born in another country qualifies for US citizenship, there is a stack of paperwork to be completed and submitted to the local US embassy. The baby will get a certificate as an American Born Abroad, which can be used to get a US passport
