The child comes infront while praying Salaah

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The Salāh will not break by the baby coming in front or sitting in the place of sujūd.[i]

If you take turns praying so that one person can take care of the baby while the other prays, it would enable you to offer your Salāh without distractions.

And Allāh knows best.

وأما الثالث وهو مرور المار في موضع سجود المصلي فإنما لا يفسدها عند عامة العلماء  [i]

 سواء كان المار امرأة أو حمارا أو كلبا أو غيرها لحديث الصحيحين { عن عائشة أنه صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يصلي وأنا معترضة بين يديه فإذا سجد غمزني فقبضت رجلي فإذا قام بسطتهما والبيوت يومئذ ليس فيها مصابيح } ولقوله عليه السلام { لا يقطع الصلاة مرور شيء وادرءوا ما استطعتم فإنما هو شيطان } لكن ضعفه النووي وفي فتح القدير والذي يظهر أنه لا ينزل عن الحسن لأنه يروى من عدة طرق
