Adult carrying baby stays in family room with a 7 yo 9 yo 12 yo and 5 other adults. Then we have to keep quiet and get shushed and the looks when noise is made?
One solution: one by one, everybody leaves & meets up elsewhere - in the basement, on the porch, wherever's out of earshot (don't want to wake the baby). Or somebody can invest in a baby monitor - one of those one-way devices to listen for baby in a bedroom or somewhere else quieter.
Otherwise the shushing is gonna sound like a convention of rattlesnakes @ high noon. The youngsters in the OP pretty much guarantee that it's not going to be quiet for long, if @ all. Better to make it a movable feast.
Eh, yeah I think it’s polite to let the baby sleep elsewhere. Especially if it’s not the baby’s house. But, if the baby is so finicky as to require being held to be consoled, it’s a gray area.
I have spent the majority of my adult life at family gatherings down the hall, upstairs, in a bedroom; with an either nursing or sleeping baby.
I would never expect the world (or dinner, party, holiday, etc ..) to revolve around me & baby. Besides; it's a set-up to fail. Unfamiliar places, people, noises & routines=not a good nap. Not a good nap=very fussy baby. You have to pick your battles.
Grand parents house but yes baby was sleeping in arms anyways. Can easily walk to another room to not affect 8 other people
Grandparents house, grandparents rules. If they want the baby taken to another room, they can ask the parent to do so. If not, then the baby stays. When they come to your house then you can make the rules.
If the other kids don't belong to the mom & baby... Motel 6, even if a collection needs to be taken. And, even if they do belong, a hotel room with 2 beds & sleeping bags is fun for kids those ages. Good luck.

Error.
Parent with sleepy baby should be considerate of the 8 other people regardless of what the grand parents want. “You know we’re living in a society” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=usN3rpfFoGA
