The child should be registered as a British citizen on Form MN1. You can then apply for a passport for her.

If you were in Northern Ireland in August of 2007, then your child may automatically qualify for British Citizen. My assumption is based on the fact that you had 3 months initial right of Residence, and if your wife begins to exercise Treaty rights in November 2007, then your child may qualify for British Citizenship.
