Well, you'll really need to work that out yourself. Logos has lots of articles about baptism, even in the free version. You could make a start by reading some of those.

An all search on paedo-baptism - smart or precise depending upon your subscription - should lead you to articles with a variety of positions on the topic.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Without getting into a debate, there is no single answer to your question as far as the "Christian" world is concerned. Different frameworks (dispensational, covenant, etc.) and denominations hold varying views on the answer to infant baptism. Historically, the church has baptized infants since perhaps 200 AD. However, even then, there was no uniformity within the church.
The above response is correct. You will have to work this out for yourself.
