I would aim for 1 hour before, unless your child is extremely punctual and wakes up early.
Before I had children and with no bags, I have arrived on the DLR at 6.45 for a 7am flight and made it, and I also arrived at 6.40 for a 7am flight and didn’t make it (was aiming for 6.30 but my tube train got stuck underground for 10 minutes).
