Here is a fairly decent high level view of infant baptism. There are many other resources available that offer a biblical justification for the practice.

This view of infant baptism is the type practiced in the Methodist tradition. It's a far cry from Augustine who declares that unbaptized infants are eternally lost:

"Whoever says that even infants are vivified in Christ when they depart this life without the participation of His Sacrament (Baptism), both opposes the Apostolic preaching* and condemns the whole Church which hastens to baptize infants, because it unhesitatingly believes that otherwise they can not possibly be vivified in Christ."--Epistle 28.

*though there was no such preaching by any of the original apostles].
