UK born children are entitled to be registered as British Citizen once one of the parent(s) gets ILR. You can register them as BC via MN1.

Yes. There is NO absence limit for Children.
do I need to wait till I get British passport ?
No.
also, I haven't applied for my wife ILR and kids absences similar to my wife mentioned previously below.
"My wife was on Tier2 ICT PBS Dependent since 2012 visa till 2017 (visa end date 4th August 2017).She Left the UK on 8th July and applied to switch Tier1 PBS dependent visa from India on 1st August got BRP vignette (8sep2017 - 8oct 2017) but unfortunately, my wife had an accident and didn't' travel so, renewed 30 days vignette on 21st October 2017 and got a visa from 8th Nov17 and entered to the UK on 5th December."
This is not the correct topic or sub forum to ask questions about your wife's ILR eligibility. Please don't copy and past a duplicate post you have already posted yesterday about ILR in the British citizenship sub forum.

As you have got certificates of registration for them, you can apply for passports for them in the usual manner.
