“there are early 2nd century Roman infant grave stones which show inscription “Servant of the Lord [and the name of the infant who died]” indicating that they were baptized.”

How “indicates”? It says nothing about baptism?

The N.T. only discusses baptism being performed on those old enough to learn and embrace the word, old enough to become disciples as Jesus instructed.
Disciple first, baptize second.

NO,it's your wrong interpretation that makes you believe this. The Early Christians disagree with you.

The N.T also says the mustard seed is the smallest seed on earth. That's NOT true either.

Are you going to stubbornly insist it is because that's what is in your Bible?

Also, It's proper to ping Kosta when you use something from what he posted
