Application of Bristish PP after ceremony

I applied for my child (4 months old) first British Passport born in UK from London. I hold ILR for over 5 years and sent my original passport and BRP, Marriage Certificate, Original Child Birth Certificate and Child's mother Passport and BRP (Spouse Visa).
Paper Application sent through Royal Mail check and send service: 09th October 2019
Text message Received: 11th October 2019 (Unless we contact you for more information, your passport should be with you by 02/11/2019).
I did not receive any thing since then. I am not sure how to track and which passport center is dealing with it? Those who applied paper passport application, could you please guide me how to track and how long it takes? I noticed that online applications are being dealt quickly and each stage can be viewed.
I am now started to little worry about why its taking time for infant passport? Any suggestion help?

Thank you for your reply. I tracked it by filling online form and received following answer:
"Thank you for your email about your passport application. I can confirm that we received your
application at our Peterborough office on 11 October 2019 and it is currently still being looked at.
We do not need anything further at this stage, but, if the Passport Officer needs additional information,
they will contact you".
This reply is not helpful because it does not tell the reason of delay. How long it take usually to get first time passport application for infant. Any idea? Other people who applied online for adult or naturalization are getting quite quickly within 2 weeks.
