Hardly, as they had no choice and may turn in totally different directions once the do.
Just like not everyone going to church is a Christian anymore than walking into a garage makes you a car.

Did the baby make the decision to be baptized? Christianity is an adult choice. Infant baptism is an agreement by parents that they intend to raise their child in a Christian way. Children, until the age of accountability (12-13), belong to G-d anyway.

Not at all!!!! I was baptized when I was born (obviously not my choice), but then I refused to do the First Communion and the Confirmation; I'm an Atheist and to me the fact that they poured some water on my head when I was a baby has no meaning at all. I believe that a real Christian is the one who really BELIEVES in Jesus as God's Son; since I don't I'm not a Christian.

No. Some denominations wait until a person reaches his or her majority - that's the age at which a person is legally an adult. Some wait until the person asks for it. And some depend upon the parents of a newborn to bring it in for baptism very soon after birth.

Nope. They haven't chosen to receive Jesus as Lord. All infant baptism does is get a baby wet.
Peter told the crowd, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift. For this promise belongs to you and your children, as well as to all those who are far away, whom the Lord our God may call to himself." (Acts 2:38-39)
But the promise for the children is the gift that can be received by repentance. Baptism should only occur after the repentance.

It doesnt matter when you were baptized, you make the choice to accept your baptism every day.

No, that is just a tradition, that will not save you. You must accept Jesus as your Savior to receive God's gift of grace and eternal life.

No, in fact the baptism we do these days is not seen valid by some because there is no annointment with the specific holy oil described in the bible.
