I think I've heard people say はじめまして to new-borns. Bit confused by the plan though; are you going to be living with him/seeing him daily because if neither of his parents speak Japanese, well, you can see what I'm thinking.

Basically just talk in Japanese how you'd talk to an infant in English. Slightly exaggerate the syntax. Until he actually starts talking, exposure to the sound is probably the most key thing.
