I read advice somewhere that you should only give them the bare minimum.
This details the required documents:

The "Guide to Supporting Documents," which they provide a link to, lists a lot of stuff which you don't need to provide.
My husband and I provided the following:
• Printed out application (I had completed it online in the US) with a passport-sized photo of me glued to the front page
• Receipt from my biometric data appointment (After submitting the application online, I made an appointment to have my biometric data taken at a US Citizen and Immigration Service Office; they send the data on to UKVI, and I had to send my full application and supporting documents along with a biometric receipt via courier to the British Consulate in New York City).
• My passport
• National identity card of my husband (you can submit either your husband's national identity card, or his passport)
• Evidence that husband is exercising treaty rights in the UK: Employer's declaration and ONE (most recent) payslip
• Original marriage certificate (in Polish language)
• Certified translation of marriage certificate into English
• Evidence of relationship prior to marriage--we did this because we've been married less than two years. Also we provided evidence of how we stayed in contact while living apart.
You could submit evidence of living together in the past, as well as how you stayed in contact while being apart. However, if your husband is your son's father, I would think you wouldn't need any evidence of your relationship. Your son's birth certificate with your husband's name on it, plus a certified translation should be enough.
To provide evidence of how we had stayed in contact while living apart, I took screenshots of our call logs and pasted them into a word document, which I then printed. We also submitted airline tickets. For photos of us together, I took screenshots of digital photos opened in Microsoft Picture Manager with the properties box open so that the date the photos were taken was visible.
You shouldn't have to provide evidence of your husband's accommodation.
