Consult doctor online or offline for more clearity. Cavities in milk tooth can cause severe problems in permanent tooth also. So you need to pay attention to them also.
Encourage you kid to brush before going to sleep.

Hello,
Please visit a near by pedodontist immediately because a delay in treatment can cause damage to the tooth that will replace them.. If the decay is mild filling it wil work but if destruction is more a RCT that's done in children will be done...
Health Tips
Get your child in a habit of brushing teeth once in morning and once in night.. If not possible then clean the child's mouth after feeding anything with brush or oral wipe.

Well, it has to be attended to immediately. The decay has to be cleared and filled up with a proper cement. If the decay is bad, they might even need pulpectomies (milk teeth root canals).
Next Steps
See a Pedodontist (paediatric dentist) immediately.
Health Tips
The sooner you see a Pedodontist, the better is it is.
