The child born in the UK will have entitlement to register as a British Citizen under section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act once either parent becomes settled (in this case has attained ILR).
The child born outside the UK can register by discretion under section 3(1) of the British Nationality Act. For the child born outside the UK it would be better to wait until the parent is a British Citizen.
