Re: We are moving to Melbourne with a Baby, Help!!
All depending on the age of the baby at the time you may be able to book a bassinette, otherwise under 2s sit on your lap for the duration. I've done the trip with small kids many times - my advice? Travel light, as light as you can. Take a baby sling (you don't want your arms to drop off!) so you can walk across Asia if required. Take whatever food your baby is used to eating. BF is great if you can - minimal care! Feed on take off and landing to equalise ear pressure and take a spare light top for adults (being puked on is not nice). Don't stress, it'll be fine, biggest problem is probably going to get bub to sit still for a passport photo!

Aren't newborn babies put into isolated quarantine before they are permitted access to Australia? - because of diseases. Might want to check it out before you travel.
