Twenty days after Sethe’s arrival at 124, Stamp Paid comes to visit her and her baby Denver whom he helped care for during Sethe’s escape. 

Should it be 'whom' or 'who'?

It's whom. Easy way to tell: Rearrange the sentence and replace who with he and whom with him.
Example: With (who/whom) am I speaking?
                Incorrect: I am speaking with he
                Correct: I am speaking with him
