The beeping from the smoke detector is from a dying battery, so you'd be quick to assume that Christian Shephard isn't the smoke monster. But, Christian doesn't appear until Jack takes the battery out. Could it have been waiting for the opportunity to manifest itself? I say 'waiting' because early in the episode, when Jack is reading to Aaron, there is a shot of the headboard of Aaron's bed and what looks to be a smoke detector attached to it. If you go back and look for it it's fairly obvious. Are Jack and Kate trying to protect Aaron from the Island? Just wanted to point these things out.
In an earlier post, Cobalt made the connection between the beeping smoke alarm and the smoke monster.
As far as a smoke alarm being in the bedroom of the baby, well, the connection could be there, but smoke alarms are the law where I live. I'd be surprised to see a home without them.
But in film, whatever appears in the scene, the mis-en-scene, I think it's called, is important. Nothing appears in the camera frame by accident. So if a smoke alarm is prominent, then you and Cobalt are probably on to something.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
