If I pick up my Wife, who is in turn holding our Daughter, both me and my Wife feel the respective weights.

Me of holding both, and my Wife of holding our Daughter.

How is my Daughter's weight split between my Wife and I?

It isn't split. Your wife holds the full kid's weight, and you the full weight of both.
