she got citizen approval letter to attend citizen ceremony while she on holidays and before baby birth.
she come back with new born baby and
she will attend citizen ceremony next week.
my question is
it's possible when she applied for her British passport.can she also apply for
new born baby British passport with her or not ?
or need to apply first for citizenship(naturalization)

If the date on her naturalisation certificate is after her child's date of birth, then No. Else, yes.

Thanks for quick reply.

if you have any idea what date would be on naturalization certificate
i mean when UKBA approve your citizenship application or
the city council where you attend ceremony they put the date on certificate

As far as know you've become British citizen when you attend the ceremony. So the date should be the date of your ceremony
