For the OP, have either of you considered bringing your child to work? I am not sure what your respective office environments are like, but in some cases if you can make sure your child will stay absolutely quiet and you can get them occupied somehow that often can work. We have done that on numerous occasions with no problem. Otherwise working from home is something one of you could request. The last option would be to borrow a vacation day from next year (if you can).
I guess it ultimately depends on how flexible your guys companies will be. Otherwise, in the future try to get to know some more people you can trust with your child, preferably where one is a stay-at-home parent.
