I had a pair of zebra finches and the dad died. The mom stayed with the 4 babies, then 3 died and she has one left which survived. I then bought another male. I was wondering if I can put him in with the mom and the baby. Also, how often can I breed my zebra finches?

They should be one year old before you breed them. You should have them vet checked to make sure they're healthy first.
No, I would not put a male in until the baby is gone. Make sure you have a cage big enough for her to move around. Line the nest with paper and give her good diet of finch seed and pellet mix.
They breed all year round. Do not handle the babies. The finches are great parents and will take care of them.
Often at pet stores, informative books pertaining to individual kinds of pets can be found (in your case zebra finches). They are often full of helpful info and can be an easy source of reference to all aspects including breeding and introducing new pets to existing.
