As the child is under 10 they don’t have to meet the good character requirement for citizenship so being an overstayer should not affect their application assuming child born in the UK. In terms of DLA technically it should stop if a person is without extant leave, however, I would not be overly concerned but for a potential overpayment until the child is British.
