I dont know much about surfing areas but much prefer Legian or Seminyak over Kuta.
Especially if you are a first timer, Legian and Seminyak are much more laid back. Kuta is a lot more on the go. It depends on what you are looking for.
Nusa Dua is a long way off the main drag and quite a bit more expensive.
With the baby take plenty of Aquim or something similar. You will need a stroller (a light one if you have it) but the kerbs in Bali are very high and lots of potholes and dangerous parts of the footpath.
You will have a fantastic time wherever you end up :)
