You may have to adjust the way your ferrets are kept and make doubly sure that they don't go near baby, but I can't see why you would have to get rid of them.
Do they live in the house? If so, it might be best to get them an outdoor residence

Re: need help please

You have some oldies there
Does your OH help with cleaning out, feeding etc? Should be no problem surely if he does. Would they expect you to get rid of a cat, or dog or fish?
Not everyone realises that animals are very much 'family'. As long as you can cope there is no need to get rid of them.
My ferrets are house ferrets and are allowed everywhere (except bathroom and toilet) Get a baby gate and modify it so you can have ferret free space
