It was kind of ratings ploy, but I think some of it might have been emotional. The character was pregnant (Peggy) because the actress was in real life. I've heard conflicting reasons as to why they didn't go ahead with just that baby, from she didn't want her real kid on camera with her to that she miscarried.
He served the same point as cousin oliver on the brady bunch and the little girl Raven or whatever on the cosby show and the twins on full house, they needed cute little kids for the ratings, since they were family shows, or so thought the producers.
