The Myanmar eVisa user guide says that in the personal information step you can add children's information if applicable: for children under 7 years old sharing the same passport, you click the "Add" button to include their details.

Why applications on this route get refused
Travelled after the eVisa approval letter expired
The eVisa approval letter is only valid for 90 days from its issue date. If you arrive after it has expired, you'll be denied entry.
How to avoid it: Check the approval letter's expiry date against your actual travel dates before you fly, not just whether it looks valid.
Applied with a travel document instead of a passport
Only ordinary passports are eligible for the eVisa. If your eVisa was obtained using a travel document, you'll be denied entry at the Myanmar immigration checkpoint even though the eVisa itself shows as approved.
How to avoid it: Apply using your actual passport, not a travel document or any other identity document.
Arrived somewhere other than an approved eVisa port
eVisa holders can currently only enter through Yangon, Mandalay or Naypyidaw International Airport, or the Kawthaung land border checkpoint, not other airports, land crossings or seaports.
How to avoid it: Book your international arrival into one of the eVisa's designated ports. If you're arriving by cruise ship, contact your tour agent about a Pre-Arrangement Visa on Arrival instead of relying on the eVisa.
