Don't bottle feed your child to sleep. And don't allow your child to eat food for a longer period of time. It has caused the tooth decay.
Next Steps

That's Rampant dental caries. Visit a pediatric dentist asap for more information and treatment. Do not delay as it will spread rapidly to every tooth in the mouth. This also needs a major counseling sessions to change diet and oral hygiene habits. Milk teeth are extremely important and pediatric dentists are trained to treat such young children.
Next Steps
visit a pediatric dentist for further management
brush twice daily
ask child to rinse mouth with water and spit, if child can't spit then you can wipe the teeth with moist cotton after food.
