We live outside the US and far away from the embassy and they will issue one only after I get him a passport and if I bring the baby and husband with me, which is difficult. Can I put ss# n/a? Or not mention the child at all, or would that be illegal?

Until you get a SSN for her, you cannot claim her. There is no exception to this rule, unfortunately.
You can file now without claiming the exemption and then file an amended return later when you get the number.

Your question is unclear. Do you have a birth certificate? If child was born in foreign country to american parents you will have to take the birth certificate and go to a US Embassy to start the paperwork process. Contact an embassy for how to details. It must be doable so just do it.
