We're not talking about the child, we're talking about the symbolic woman of verse The child is the Messiah, the Son of God.
A woman clothed with the sun: Scripturally, this woman clothed with the sun should be identified with Israel, according to Joseph’s dream (Genesis 37:9-11). In that dream, the sun represented Jacob, the moon represented Joseph’s mother Rachel, and the eleven stars were the sons of Israel which bowed down to Joseph. In this sign with twelve stars, Joseph is now among the other tribes of Israel.
In other Old Testament passages, Israel (or Zion or Jerusalem) is often represented as a woman (Isaiah 54:1-6, Jeremiah 3:20, Ezekiel 16:8-14, and Hosea 2:19-20).
not a symbolic woman but Mary the mother of a God from gen 3:15
mid Jesus is the real child and Mary is his mother then the woman must be Mary! Duh!
