Thinking of re-homing - I can't do this anymore.

I have got two cats who I love. They are 3 years old and I have had them since they were kittens.
The problem I'm having is that after having my baby they won't stop urinating around the house. Every room smells of cat urine. They urinate on the carpet, in the bath, on my husband's clothes, in his cricket bag and many other places.
The worst thing though is that they are constantly urinating on my baby's things. They have urinated in his Crib, over his clothes, in his baby bath, on his baby play mat, in his pushchair and also his car seat.
I have been back and forth to the vets to rule out medical issues and all they can do is throw antibiotics at me for cystitis, which makes no difference whatsoever. I have bought more litter trays and done all the usual stuff to encourage the use of them, but it hasn't worked. I have tried Feliway for months and they are also on Zyklene - again, nothing has made a difference.
Urinating in his car seat is the final straw - I nearly felt sick with anger/guilt when I sat him in it and then realised the straps were damp. When I lifted him out of it there was cat urine all up his back.
I just can't do it anymore.
How is the best way to get cats re homed?
They clearly aren't happy here and enough is enough, I can't have my baby being exposed to urine over all his things on a daily basis.
