Halakhah for Leviticus 12:6

וּבִמְלֹ֣את ׀ יְמֵ֣י טָהֳרָ֗הּ לְבֵן֮ א֣וֹ לְבַת֒ תָּבִ֞יא כֶּ֤בֶשׂ בֶּן־שְׁנָתוֹ֙ לְעֹלָ֔ה וּבֶן־יוֹנָ֥ה אוֹ־תֹ֖ר לְחַטָּ֑את אֶל־פֶּ֥תַח אֹֽהֶל־מוֹעֵ֖ד אֶל־הַכֹּהֵֽן׃

And when the days of her purification are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtle-dove, for a sin-offering, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest.

Sefer HaChinukh

The law of the sacrifice of the woman that has given birth: That a woman who has given birth bring a sacrifice when the days of her purification for a son or a daughter are completed. And it is a one-year old lamb for a burnt-offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin-offering. And if she is poor, she brings two doves or two young pigeons - one for a burnt-offering and one for a sin offering, as it is stated (Leviticus 12:6), "On the completion of the days of purification for a son or daughter, she shall bring, etc." And she is lacking atonement until she brings her sacrifice.
