After getting my citizenship hopefully in 3months i will apply, will i still have to Register my child born in the UK with form MN1 application or just apply for my child's British Passport?

If the child is born in the UK after your received your ILR then you can apply for the British passport straight away.
If the child is born in the UK before your received your ILR then apply for naturalisation for the child using MN1 under section 1(3). In this case no need to wait until you get naturalised.
If the child born outside the UK then you have to apply for the naturalisation of the kid using MN1 under section 3(1). In this case you can apply together with your application of naturalisation or after you get naturalised.

in the case the child was born in the UK before you became settled, the process by which the child can acquire citizenship is that of 'registration', not naturalisation.
