I think your images look ok. There is no need to have such a large back screen when setting a shoot up for an infant. When I use my grandson who is two and half. I set up my speed-flash 600 as off camera flash at the back of the back screen and bounce the flash off a projector screen which is at the back of me. I am getting some very good results using the flash this way keep my grandson Jayden eyes wide open and no red eye

seven inches from the background Newfie 1 ??? That is virtually against the wall and should never been done that close, regardless of lights on the background.
At seven inches away, I don't see how anyone could even get a background light in that space to light it up and reduce the shadow. Be at least a few feet away from your background.

Sorry I meant 7 feet

Lucian is right. Start with ONE light. It is possible to get wonderful images with one light. Then add a reflector to lighten the darker shadows you get with the one light. After you get good images with that, then add a second light.
Every light you add not only adds illumination, but an additional layer of complexity because they do not just add light, they interact with one another.
As to this is image - don't show the bottoms of feet - generally not a flattering look and the boy is too big for the tub. That can be a cute pose/prop for an infant, but he looks strange in it.
Your shooting space is not so bad, it is the brown couch and chair that are the problem. They sit where your lights need to go. So put them out on the front yard with a "Free for a good home" sign on them. You wanna take portraits or sit down? :-)
