If he is on the 5year route, he can apply directly for SET M.

Further to the advice given by
AmazonianX, will your friend's wife support his ILR by a SET(M) application ?

Why hasn't he submitted an ILR application if he's completed 5 years on his spouse visa? In two weeks time he will be an overstayer, which will make it more difficult to apply under any visa category.

The answer is no he cannot. He would have to apply for FLR(FP) Parent route and provide loads of evidence of his involvement in the day to day aspects of the child etc and will be on a new 5 or 10 year route to ILR.
ILR is based on the visa category you hold for the required period. Spouse visa and British child visa are different visas with different rules.
