It's almost certainly the dad, they may have been restricting access for non birthing parents for safety reasons (viral outbreak, prematurity etc). So they arranged dad to see through window.

he was willing to go outside into the cold just to see his kid because he knew his presence could be dangerous 😍

Who is the person taking the picture? Why are they inside, if the dad isnt?

Possibly the other parent. Who has just given birth and is necessary to be around the baby.

Or maybe a nurse/midwife. Whose job is to be there for that kid and many others.
