Default I just got a baby hammy!

I've posted here before, where I was asking about my two hamsters, cause they kept breeding and having no babies.
A lot of the replies said they were probably both males dominating each other, but nuh uh!
I just noticed a little hamster baby!
This is really lucky cause last time I cleaned their cages there were no babies, and now I just saw this hamster baby old enough to go outside and look around with its tiny eyes! I'm really excited!
I have never had babies before xD. I really did think they were both males, but seems like Baby was a girl after all!
Does anyone have any advice what to do next? Am I allowed to clean the cage soon?
I'm all new to this! I assume I'm gonna have to buy an extra cage so they don't get more hammies!

I don't even know if there are more babies than one. Luckily I haven't had much to do with my two hamsters lately, cause the male, Pearl, (he's called that cause once I thought he was a female, that's what the petstore said, and still haven't thought of a better name, so he's still just Pearl xD) started biting a whole lot which made it quite difficult to get their foodbowl out of the cage x(. Now I know why he was so defensive! I forgive him now XD!

New update! =D
Here's a video of the baby with its father, Pearl. The mother is running the wheel. I named the baby Cotton.

New update again! xD
Here are some piccies of the mum, dad and baby, since people have asked for them, and a video of them, plus my cat who is in heat xD and my other hamster who is desperately waiting for his new and bigger cage =). The baby looks bigger already, and it's only about 3-4 days ago already I took the pictures of him and the video. Enjoy!

The daddy (is bigger now):
