+#### `onChild` (Function)
+
+The `onChild` function is a callback that will be called on each creation of a new child and use the child instance as it's first argument.
+```js
+const parent = require('pino')({ onChild: (instance) => {
+  // Exceute call back code for each newly created child.
+}})
+// `onChild` will now be executed with the new child.
+parent.child(bindings)
