You guys didn't read the link I posted? From what it says, the child would immediately become a citizen upon birth, provided at least one parent already has citizenship at the time of birth and the parents are still married. Unless they mean 5 years physical presence as a US citizen, but I don't think that's what it means.
Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock: A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) INA provided the citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen are required for physical presence in the U.S. to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.

I did indeed read it. The subsequent discussions had wandered somewhat from the original question and somehow we'd deviated into the world of N-600K vs N-600.

That was mentioned here:
i. The child may be born a citizen, by virtue of the rules governing birth to one or more USC parents living abroad. Minimum physical presence rules may apply to the parent.
