What is the patristic teaching on unbaptized infants?

I believe that was answered by Agrarian recently and myself earlier. The Orthodox Church does not speculate. We believe that God is not limited in His options. Knowing that God is merciful and just, many Orthodox believe (privately) that the unbaptized babies are saved. However, to the bets of my knowledge, the official position of the Church is that we just don't know.

Much like Baptists on this then. We also would like to believe it but can't support it from scripture. So we hope but don't promise. God is still sovereign and He has chosen to withhold certain information.
