“Origen (ca AD 248) reports that “the church received from the Apostles the tradition of giving baptism even to infants”.”

Well, no. What he claimed, which is not inspired, is not present in any writing before 100ad. Not from the Apostles teaching or tradition.

“A couple of times in Acts, there is reference to a whole household being baptized. That would include everyone, even infants.”

Never does Scripture say a baby was baptized. Not even a single time.
