I have 2 Himalayans already. One is 18 and the other just turned 1. I just picked up an 8wk old yesterday. His actual brother is my 1 yr old. My 18yr old has no interest nor cares as expected, but the 1 year old and the new kitten aren't getting along.
I sectioned off the kitten into a guest room, did the towel exchange thing, and he is just sitting behind the door screaming to come out as my 1yr old is hiding in another room. The new one hisses at the sight of both of them. I want to make the new guy comfortable, but I don't want to upset my cats off by spending so much time with the kitten.

Your cats will need to become accustomed to each other's smells and this takes time. Make sure you give the resident cats a lot of attention
Changes take time and patience. Try to not make too many changes to your 2 resident cats lives and continue to treat them just as loving - or more - as you did before getting your new baby. Add attention to the baby with as little fanfare as possible and keep the baby in another room. If possible change rooms for the little guy but leave all bedding for the other ones to investigate.
Hope you can see a ray of sunshine and maybe your cats are adjusting just a little....
I know that you have probably checked out some sites on the internet but I have a couple that I like to use so maybe when you have time you can read their suggestions.
