Passport for newborn with one parent on ILR

Hello
I got my ILR on Jan 20, 2018 and my baby was born on Feb 05 2018. So my understanding is that my baby is already a British citizen by birth. If I'm right I believe I can directly apply for her passport.Am I correct?
Also what documents do I need to apply for the baby's British passport? As I still hold Indian passport, Is it necessary to send my passport or should I only send my ILR BRP card ?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Jithu

You need to send your passport and ILR BRP. Applying using either NCS or NDRS.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
But I'm still a bit confused about NCS and NDRS because on a quick scanning through to understand what they are, I understood that these are used to apply for a British citizenship. I thought the baby is already a British citizen and doesn't need to apply for it and can directly apply for a passport. Am I missing something or have I understood something wrong?

Sorry, my error.
You can apply for baby's passport using the 1 week fast track service. You need to send your passport and ILR BRP.
