yes i got it through 10 years residence and then one year ilr and then naturalisation

Presumably you applied and naturalised as British and are not British by descent.

A child born abroad to a British citizen other than by descent is automatically British. Apply for a passport directly. Child will be British by descent and any children born to them abroad will not be British.

Your baby is British by descent. Apply for a British Passport directly.

It is not in your case as you are British otherwise by descent. Your baby born abroad is British by descent.
