You certainly know that an infant cannot form intent.

I would accept that in the legal sense, but not in general. I cannot gauge that capacity.

I know that my eldest son played a game with me while he was still within the womb- He would stick his foot against his mother's belly, and I would grab the foot, whereupon he would retract, all excited, according to my wife. But soon thereafter comes the foot once again, and in the very same place... over, and over again. He thought it was fun.

Now, does that exhibit an intent or not? Who can say?

OMG! I just got this vision of you wearing a headset with the wire plugged into your wife's navel!
