No.

Children born outside the UK follow the immigration pathway of the less-privileged parent (in this case, the mother) and will be eligible for ILR along with the second parent.

They can be registered as British citizens when both the child and the second parent have ILR and the other parent either has British citizenship or is applying for British citizenship.
