This official uscis document gives very clear instructions for documentation specific to each situation

You would do well  to study this carefully. It will answer not only this question but many others , and ensure your application is complete and accurate and less likely to get rejected or receive an RFE

Thanks Lil Bear for your response and link. The I-130 instructions didn’t specify the beneficiaries birth certificates as required and requires sponsors birth certificate as proof  to establish parents relationship and marriage certificate from Father. I still saw some messages on few attorney sites on providing beneficiary birth certificates at the time of I-130 filing and that’s why I got confused.

They may well have been referring to the actual visa application part of the process, as that's when you will need to provide the beneficiaries birth certs. For the I-130 they're not required though.
