Child is not automatically British if neither parent had ILR or British citizenship. Once you have ILR, child is entitled to register as a British citizen under section 1(3) of British Nationality Act 1981. See form MN1:

Once either parent has been granted ILR you will be able to submit an MNI registration for your child. After registration you will be able to apply for their British passport.
