The ideal baby justice league is probably:

Robin/Damian Wayne

Superboy/Jon Kent

Nobody/Maya Ducard

Beacon/Kathy Branden

Green Lantern/Tai Pham

Thunderheart/Irey West

Surge/Jai West

+ (bonus) Shazam/Billy Batson

Like of course you have the core of Dami/Jon/Maya/Kathy with Damian being insane (as all the batfam are), Jon having to shoulder the responsibility of being the moral compass, Maya being the older sister she is and Kathy being a recovering evil spy.

After that, there's Tai who's the awkward fifth wheel still learning to be a hero, Irey who will pick a fight with Damian even if she knows she's wrong (girlboss tbh) and Jai who is winning the idgaf war.

There's cats!! I repeat. there's a TON of cats. The friendliest most pettable cats in Greece. Also there's crows!!!

(I swear these two are Artemis and Apollo in cat form...)
