Yes. You may apply for the child at a later date. A child does not accumulate overstay time.
The question is for the Naturalization N-400 Application.
What do I answer to the question: have you ever been arrested?
When I applied for a permanent residency, my formar attorney advised me to answer No to this type of question.

Tread carefully -- the return visit can open you to a charge of immigrating intent, and create problems. Consult with an experienced immigration attorney in detail.
