It may have escaped people's notice, but babies can have a tendency to cry. Not sure babies would be too comfortable in what can be a noisy and "aggressive" in tone place.

You’re both missing the point that the MP is best placed to represent their own constituents’ interests. It is often about rather more than simply asking someone else to raise points on your behalf. Sometimes direct knowledge of a situation makes all the difference.
As for whether it’s an appropriate environment for a baby, well first of all that’s the mother’s decision, and secondly it is generally only an absolute bear pit during PMQs and other occasional set-piece debates. Most of the time it’s pretty quiet.
