Can we take our baby up Mt. Fuji?

My family and I were planning on climbing Mount Fuji in a couple of weeks, and my wife had asked about taking our baby up the mountain. I've asked around, but the answers mostly come from modern glass minded people; who look at me in shock like I was asking about skydiving with a baby. Have you ever seen hikers with younger children around 1 or 2 yrs. old on Mt. Fuji (or similar altitude mountains?)

Thanks for your time and help.

I read that portion of the FAQ, but I'm wondering about a baby that would be in a pack, and not walking herself. our options were to do it now, when she is still small, and can be easily carried, or wait a couple years. I completely agree with not taking toddlers, up the mountain, because it is quite the workload. I've done a lot of backpacking growing up, and I would be carrying our daughter in a pack. I was just thinking more about the altitude sickness and what not.
