Hello firangi & visaforv10
Applying for Indian passport is straight forward. After your child is born, take the birth certificate asap. Download the new passport Registration form from HCI website for minors. You can find these forms here.

Fill the form, take all the supporting documents (originals) and and two sets of photocopies, go to India High Commission near Holborn, address is mentioned in the above website.
Only thing is you may have to spend your whole day at HCI and mind you, you need to go very early (around 6 or 7 am in the morning) as they usually issue a limited number of tokens per day (Unless this has been changed recently).
Also, take both of your original passports (you and your wife's) and follow instructions of the HCI london staff, they will guide you there. The service at HCI london is bit un-organized but you have to bear this.
I applied for my daughter's passport in 2008 in the same procedure.
You should get your child's passport within a week from the date you lodge your application at HCI.
After you receive the passports, apply for the dependent visa for your child which is same as the normal dependent visa for Tier-II. The timelines vary from time to time but at the moment it is taking about 4-6 weeks.
Hope this helps.
Regards...
Santosh
