I would leave such a hateful unscriptural church in a heartbeat that believes that unbaptized babies go to hell. For starters, being baptized in itself does not save, only the shed blood of Jesus dying on the cross for the remission of sins and the power the Holy Spirit living in our hearts leading to repentance provides salvation. Baptism is just an outward recognition of belonging to a particular type of faith and in itself unnecessary for salvation. The thief on the cross was not baptized and he made out OK. Babies have not yet sinned so if they died they would live for eternity in the loving presence of God who knitted them in the womb of their mother.
We are born with free choice or free will. This is our Adamic nature and sooner or later we will exercise our free-will as Adam and Eve did in the garden. Before Adam and Eve exercised their free-will the were sinless and if they are a 'type' of us, then so are we. We need to sin before we are sinners, and we are judged on our sins and not the sins of Adam and Eve.
This verse contradicts your claim. Either you are correct or scripture is correct. Both claims cannot be correct.
Matthew 18:3
And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Why would Jesus state this if children are born sinners? I am asking you, does this make any sense at all?

When a child becomes spiritually aware of God's commands as regard right from wrong. Each person is different in their degree of maturation so the bible cannot have a set age for that age of accountability. However, it does carry numerous verses concerning accountability.
Romans 8:7
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
This might help new parents or parents generally.
