Now before you get all indignant and preachy define "fasting" and how it does and does not apply to infants. Most interpretations refer to abstinence from solid foods and none specifically address or prohibit mothers milk. (Besides, there is that whole household thing in Acts).

Nice try but no cigar...So you 'interpret' it to mean something other than what it says...Now you can justify yourself...

Problem with your own definition is a three or four year old would have a rough time on only mother's milk for a couple of days...

No, I do not have enough hubris to believe that I can interpret it. I defer to those early Christians who heard the Word from those no less than one generation after the life and ministry of Jesus. The bottom line is that the Didache does not prohibit infant baptism as you attempted to interpret it for us.

Peace be to you.
