No. The child will take the nationality of the parents (subject to nationality laws of those states).

Was the child born in the UK and when? When were you granted permanent residency/what date did the appeal grant permanent residency from?

You mean RC (Residence Card), not PR (Permanent Residence which is obtained after 5 years in the UK), correct?

If the child was born in the UK, then the child could apply for British citizenship after your husband completes 5 years of exercising treaty rights in the UK (2016?).

The child should hold German nationality (and maybe your nationality as well).

I think she has been exercising treaty rights for 5 years and the appeal was for PR. Though, she needs to clarify.

If you have won PR then you need to find from what date that is effective as if on or before your child's birth the child may be already British.

@D4109125 - clearly not PR if EU husband only been resident since 2011.

Op didn't say she wasn't an eea national did she? If she hasn't got pr then it doesn't apply as I said.

Because your son was born before your ILR was granted, you should have registered him on form MN1 (entitlement under section 1(3) if born in UK) first and once this is approved and you receive the BC registration certificate, then you can apply for a BC passport.
