Read INA 301 on the www.uscis.gov site on the Laws tab. See if your child will be a USC born abroad based on you already being a citizen. IF yes, apply for an FS-240 and U.S. Passport in India, have your wife get a re-entry permit before leaving. If the child is NOT a USC at birth, have her bring him back on her first trip. The child will need a passport from whichever country.

The baby probably will be a US citizen if born in India. But read this link to see if you meet the relevant conditions: http://travel.state.gov/law/citizenship/citizenship_5199.html
Your wife should apply for a reentry permit before leaving the US, in case there are pregnancy or birth-related complications that cause her to stay in India for over a year.
