I wouldn't assume they were planning to feed it to your child. I would assume they like making it for breakfast and assumed you wouldn't have any since you don't eat it. So they brought their own. You stated you don't keep a kosher home, so I don't see why it's a big deal. If you guys went to the trouble to keep kosher at home, surely your husband would've already informed them of this, right? If it's just that you don't eat bacon (but your hubby probably does, right?) then I don't think this is worth making a thing over.
Sounds like a relationship issue. I would think they bought it for themselves? And perhaps for your husband?
Honestly I would ask your husband to please tell them not to feed your child the bacon. (His parents right?)

They probably genuinely forgot that you don't eat pork products... Just talk to them and clarify what their intentions for the bacon are.
It is possible, even probable, that they just totally forget and didn't mean any harm.
Once in college my boyfriend, who happened to be Jewish, drove me to my sister's house an hour or so away. She was right in the middle of making ham sandwiches for her family for lunch and innocently asked if he would like some ham sandwiches to eat on the trip home. Of course he refused and went on his way. It wasn't until he left that it dawned on me what she had done. I never mentioned it my sister as she would have been totally embarrassed about her goof. She knew that Jewish people didn't eat pork but didn't really think about it at the time. BTW, he never mentioned it either, he obviously realized that it was just an oversight.
Perhaps, ask your husband to talk to his parents. If you don't want bacon, ham, pork, etc. in your house, cooked in your pans or on your dishes they can either go out for breakfast or just skip eating pork at your house. And be sure to agree with your husband if your child will or will not be eating pork as he grows up.
They most likely brought for themselves. You might have your husband make sure to remind them that your son can't eat the bacon. If there isn't a history of them trying to force pork on you I doubt that they would start now.
they think that pig is a filthy animal,,
the muslims dont do pig-roasts either
