Can child born in Spain to temporary residents travel inside Schengen with only passport?

Considering that your kid has a valid US passport he is entitled to the Schengen entry as well. Since you are the parents you may need your marriage certificate and the baby’s birth certificate; only for them to verify that she is your kid (they want to be sure you are the legal parents/guardians).

As long as she is a US passport holder (passport valid for 6 months) she won’t be denied entry.

As a reference you can read this:

But if she has been in Spain for more than 90 days and doesn’t have any Spain resident documentation i.e. on the passport, a resident card etc then you should wait for it. The reason is she may asked to leave the Schengen area and enter it again which may pose a problem for you.

If she isn’t 90 days old yet then there would be no issue.

I was a in the Schengen area as a tourist and was offered employment in the Netherlands within my 6-month stay. So during my work stay I wanted to go for a weeks vacation (while my employer applied for a visa conversion). I was told at the Netherlands exit immigration that I wont be allowed to travel within the Schengen area after 1 week (because the 6 months were coming to an end) and I would need to exit unless I have a resident visa of any Schengen country.
