BC is a privilege. You don't have to apply for it. You can stay on ILR as long as you wish.

Now what visa do I have to apply for my wife and can I register my child as a British after I get the BC.

Your wife should apply for a spouse visa of a settled person.
Was your child born in the UK or India? If in the UK, you can apply for registration as British citizen now. If born in India, then can apply for registration after/with your application for BC.

How shall i proceed with this after getting a BC for me, Is there any application for the baby to get register from overseas as the baby will be in India at that time.

With both your wife and your child in India, it is highly unlikely (read almost impossible) that an application for registration under section 3(1) (registration subject to discretion) - submitted overseas - will be approved. See 9.17.9.

Just as your spouse, your child will also need to apply for settlement visa as child of a settled person / British citizen.
