Depends on when the child was born. To obtain a British passport for children born recently, parents have to have the right to permanent residence in UK at the time of the childs's birth. Failing that, they may have to apply to be naturalised. Check current guidelines for your circumstances with the UK Passport Office (the rules have changed a lot recently) or pick up a form from any main Post Office.

If the British parent registered the birth at the British Embassy the child would be dual national. America technically doesn't recognize dual nationalities, but it happens often. I was born here, hence making me American. My family registers all births here with the Irish Embassy Foreign Births Register thereby making all of us Irish Citizens too. This does not jeopardize my American citizenship since it is something recognized by birth. Now, if I were to apply for Italian citizenship, a country with which I have no familial affiliations I could lose my US citizenship. But, back to the question at hand. If the baby were born here, and you plan to take him out of the country, he need a US Passport, or needs to be added to the American Parent's passport. All US citizens, regardless of dual nationalities, when flying out of, or into, this country you have to do so with a US passport.

The child will have all three nationalities or just one. My children are half-Italian and half English, but born in England. Their birth has been registered at my husband's home town in Sicily via the Italian Embassy. This entitles them to have either a British or an Italian passport or both so I should imagine if you child is registered in all three countries, they are nationals of all three.
Our English marriage is also registered there as I understand because we were not married in church, if the civil wedding is not registered in Italy, we are not legally married there (open to correction with that one but I think that's what happened to my husband's aunt and uncle who were married in a registry office in the UK but had property in Italy).

The child is English but can also apply for Italian and Irish passports. Very handy for international footballers - choose which team to play for on the back of your parentage! (It would be interesting to know if they have Dutch, Swedish, Spanish and French grandparents! lol)
How can a son also be a daughter??

He/She is definitely Italian and Irish. If he/she was born before 1982, then he would be English as well

The child is english. Your nationality is usually the country you were born in. You could apply for dual nationality in later life I think.

If the parents are permanent residents in Britain and have their citizenship then the child is British
