New born vs. newly born

How's your new born baby boy?
How's your newly born baby boy?

Which of the above is correct?
If the 1st sentence is correct, do I need to add a hyphen, ie. 'new-born baby'?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you, CB. I really appreciate it.

I see 'newborn' should be one word. Therefore, both are correct.
