Her mother went into labour soon after the disaster and gave birth before she died, a relative said. Her father, four siblings and an aunt were also killed.
Dramatic footage showed a man carrying the baby, covered in dust, after she was pulled from debris in Jindayris.
A doctor at a hospital in nearby Afrin said she was now in a stable condition.
The building in which her family lived was one of about 50 reportedly destroyed by the 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Jindayris, an opposition-held town in Idlib province that is close to the Turkish border.
The baby's uncle, Khalil al-Suwadi, said relatives rushed to the scene when they learned of the collapse.
Paediatrician Hani Maarouf said the baby arrived at his hospital in a bad condition, with "several bruises and lacerations over all her body".
