Just had a baby born in the UK.
I understand baby does not get UK citizenship.
Can I claim child benefits, I am tier 1 entrepreneur visa with no recurse to public funds (wife is partner visa)
Does it matter what is our home country, I heard some countries (outseide EU) have reciprocity of benefits

Which Country are you from?
The child will be entitled to register as British by virtue of section 1(3) BNA once either parent has been granted ILR.

Thanks for this great and fast response. In the link I did not see any details that Israel (and I assume other countries) has a different access to child benefits (as opposed to other public funds) can you give me a more detailed link? When I called the child benefits hotline they said 'no recourse to public funds means no child benefits'
Could there be any downsides to claiming child benefits?

You should tell the HMRC to look at their own manual, they are clueless:

Covered by a social security agreement that the UK has agreed with another country
The Social security (Immigration and Asylum) Consequential Amendments Regulations 2000, regulation 2(3) for Great Britain
The Social Security (Immigration and Asylum) Consequential Amendments Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000, regulation 2(3) for Northern Ireland.
People who are subject to immigration control are not excluded from entitlement to child benefit if they are a national of, or a person who has come to live in the UK from, a country that has a reciprocal social security agreement with the UK which covers child benefit.
Currently, the countries that have such an agreement are Barbados, Canada,
Israel, Jersey and Guernsey, Mauritius, New Zealand and the former Yugoslavia (i.e. applies to Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, and Montenegro, and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia)
