Myself:having PR , my spouse:having PR and our Baby is Canadian Citizen, i want to know that if we stay outside the canada with our baby(canadian citizen), does we meet the residency obligation to renew our PR after expiry dates.

No... the baby is accompanying you and not the other way round.

No - having a Canadian citizen baby will not allow you to meet your residency obligation and maintain your PR while living outside of Canada (either you or your wife would have to be a citizen for this to work). You and your wife must physically live in Canada for two out of five years if you wish to retain your PR status.
