Is this use of 喜得 a typo?
I came across this example sentence translation in Pleco:
祝贺你喜得贵子
Congratulations on your newborn baby!
I think 喜（得） may be a typo for the following reasons:
- the English translation specifies that the baby is newborn. 喜 does not convey this information, but 新 does.
- 新的 could very easily be mistyped as 喜得
I believe the sentence should be:
祝贺你新的贵子！
Does this seem correct?
Thank you.

see dictionaries, e.g. iciba:1. Allow me to felicitate you upon the birth of your daughter. 恭贺你喜得千金. Also 祝贺你新的贵子！appears to be ungrammatical or have unintended meaning, 祝贺(<某人＞) is usually followed by a VP e.g. 超额完成了计划,建立外交关系,成功,当选本届大会主席,获得百米赛跑第一名. "祝贺你新的贵子！" would seem to mean "I congratulate your new son"

No, it isn't a typo.
喜得 roughly means obtained by good fortune, so 祝賀你喜得貴子 is a congratulatory message meaning something like congratulations on being blessed with a son.

In fact, 喜得貴子, 新得贵子 is a third party description.
喜得 actually mean coincidentally. In some verb , 喜 has nothing to do with the happiness, but coincident luck, i.e. 幸喜.
Thus in novel/essay, before 喜得貴子 context, it always mean the family is difficult to get children, i.e. 人丁单薄, 膝下犹虚.
However, over time, poorly literate media editor and movie script writer simply confuse the meaning with happiness, that cause many people start misuse it.
Since traditional Chinese new born congratulation are gender discriminate. Today, saying simple congratulation 恭喜 will do.
