Others kids invited but not our baby

Can you offer to have a babysitter at the event to tend to your child during the ceremony? Otherwise, you maybe would need to decline the invite either as a family or yourself. But it does seem better that they invite the whole family and work out the possibility of a crying baby one way or another. Weddings are to start a new family so really they should appreciate a baby there -- especially of necessity for the baby's age.

If I were you, I’d ask the couple what the exact concerns of the baby are. For many, it’s the ceremony that they specifically worry about. If it ends up being that, then you might ask if you and the baby can skip the ceremony and then join in at cocktail hour/reception.
Remember, it is their day, they have the right (even if it is against the social norm) to invite whoever they want, it isn’t your job to change their mind but you can try to figure out the why and offer an alternative!

Be prepared to accept “no” as an answer, respect their choice and then decide with your partner what you want to do as far as attendance goes.

I think at this point you should just celebrate however it goes. Treat any crying babies as a nod to the family life. Maybe have the officiant ready with a few responses like "we have one of our guests celebrating already." You can also make sure to have a wireless microphone between you all at the altar so the sound for video is captured (or maybe amplified for guests too).

Also, if you have a place for people with crying babies, that could be helpful. And an usher could help them to that place. If you also make sure they can hear the ceremony or reception, that would be a plus.
