In Acts 2:38-39 The Bible tells us that we are to be baptized every one for the remission of sins and that this is for you and for your children.
Just as Circumcision was the entry of infant children into God’s people in the Old Testament, so Baptism is the new circumcision.
BTW, Infant baptism is practiced in a number of Protestant denominations and was mandated by Martin Luther, the founder of Protestantism.
