You can't sponsor your wife, as you don't have permanent residence (ILR) in the UK. She will have to qualify under her own route to settlement.

Your wife can be put on your next renewal if you both live with the British child.If you can prove that she hasf a parental responsibility for your British child.It is easier if you live together with your British child.I got my my leave to remain through my parental responsibility for my partners child who is British. We all live together as a family unit.

You omitted to tell the forum member that your application took over a year to be granted and that this was after asking your MP to intervene with the HO on your behalf. :idea:

It may well be advisable for the member's wife who is currently on a Graduate visa, to apply for a visa category separately from her husband.

This is my last renewal on a ten year parent route.
If you check on the government website you would realise there is no timetable scale for flr fp applications and it is taking the homeoffice 12months to complete an application. I don't see anything wrong to get uour Mp involved to expedite your application.
I only gave an advice.

I wasn't suggesting that the MP's involvement was wrong. I'm fully aware that the Home Office has no confirmed timeline for FLR(FP) visas. My post was intended to make the OP aware that FLR(FP) applications are often not straightforward and this can be a lengthy process, with no guarantee of success.

This is why I suggested that it may well be a better option for his wife to apply for a different category of visa, which she might qualify for as she currently holds a Graduate visa.

The OP also hasn't clarified if his child lives with him, or the child's mother.
