Me & My Baby have recently received approvals. However, after ceremony can my baby travel outside UK in January (to India)
Can I still apply for UK passport of my baby before travel, will it invalidate her ILR? . I'm confused with sequence of events here
Please advice

If you have your Indian Passport, you can still travel to India within the
3 month grace period from the date of your naturalisation.

Yes, Assuming that your child was Indian passport holder in the past.

Yes, she is Indian passport holder. Finally, when my child arrives in UK from India, does she need to present her UK Passport or Citizenship Certificate?
This is my last question to you Guru. Thanks for taking your time in answering my queries

I'd assume it to be UK Passport. However, keep her Citizenship Certificate to hand just in case you might need to clarify any misconceptions.
