ILR or Naturalisation for children born outside UK

Hello There,
I have recently applied for my Naturalization and hope I will receive it in a few months time. I have a dependent child born outside UK currently living with me on a valid dependent visa. My question is once I acquire my naturalisation, is it possible for me to apply for the child's ILR or naturalisation? The child has lived in the uk for the past 2 years.
It would be great if some one could give me some advice on this.
Thanks in advance

Child's other parent lives in UK with me.
Child currently holds PBS dependant visa
Child would be around 3 years old when i receive my naturalisation.

Child will follow the same path as the less privilege immigration category parent. Apply for ILR for child at the same time as other parent.
Children born abroad are expected to hold ILR (free from immigration control) before they can apply for citizenship AND either one parents must already be British or applying with the child AND the other parents should hold ILR.

Thank you very much for some clarity. Is there any guidance notes or website links for this? (Sorry for pestering as i could not find anything specific online).
Kind regards
