Answer
You state your husband is a convert. Alhamdulillah, for that. We are further encouraged to learn that he even gave a Muslim name to your child.
It is natural for your husband to consider the feelings of his parents. You should assist him in pondering upon a suitable way to inform his parents about his conversion to Islam.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
