Stop bottle feeding. You should give him normal home made food only. Start with breakfast then after one hour seasonal fruits, two hour later full lunch. Evening snacks around 5 pm then dinner 8 pm. In to bed by 9 to 10 pm. No screen during meal time.
As regards eating not-eatable he needs certain medication for that you need proper consultation
