Personally, I don't believe that babies should be allowed in the premium cabins at any price, and even advocate an age limit of at least 16. I've taken later or alternate flights to avoid infants. That is a very long haul to take an infant on yourselves let alone subject other passengers to the problems traveling with an infant may cause.
If all you are looking to do is "show off" your ability to procreate (no big feat) as you put it, start with photos instead. Allow those who paid for those premium cabins to enjoy what they paid for or earned with their patronage miles.
WingNaPrayer, I totally disagree with you and hope that you are never a victim of age discrimination. I have been in many premium cabins with better behaved babies and children than adults. Your opinion is way off base and off topic. To
Chillier if you are willing to pay the cost of the lap baby when you upgrade or have the miles and want to get an award ticket for your baby, then go for it. That is why we play this game. Have a great day.
