Presumably your son is still a minor .... under 18?

Up to you what you do. Your son's form MN1 can be submitted at the same time as your form AN, or you can wait and submit his MN1 after you have got your citizenship.

If your child is at least 13, has he been living in the UK for at least 2 years?

Also if the child was born abroad, does the other parent hold ILR/PR? Does the child hold ILR/PR?

See more in Citizenship FAQs - Common Questions - Read before posting - Children.
