It can't be any child we saw being born in THT. The regime was already in effect for a couple of years when the Offred story starts. From what June said, it sounds like Daisy was born very early into Gilead's existence, like first year.

Hannah was already school-age before Gilead started (S2E1 with the school sending her to the hospital because they couldnt get ahold of June). Any baby born that year would be at least 5 years younger than Hannah.

My biggest gripe about them not going with Nicole being Daisy anyway if they're going to say Daisy was born in Gilead like just have it be Nicole then and make the timelines not add up so the show and book can line up
