“And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house. “ (Acts 16:32-34)

To All that were in his house, including any children/infants.

Perhaps you nod off before you can finish a string of verses together and miss what's at the end...

The end of the verse destroys any notion that there were any babies in the house...

All who were in the house believed along with the father...Babies don't have that capacity...

I did not miss the end of that verse. It is that verse which supports the claim of the Church and the tradition of the Apostles. ALL HID HOUSE. Period. Nothing else, no exclusions for age.

All of the responses here just ignore the substance of the practice, the customs of the Jewish people and the continuity between the Old Testament and the New.

Everyone certainly has a right to disagree but just as certainly no authority to tell me that I do not understand Scripture or that I ignore or reject it because I reject as shallow and unsubstantial their opinion on the subject.
