Infant Baptism in the First Five Centuries

Hippolytus: “Baptize first the children, and if they can speak for themselves let them do so. Otherwise, let their parents or other relatives speak for them” (The Apostolic Tradition 21:16 [A.D. 215]).
This and many other testimonies from the early fathers are cataloged in the post from Gnesio: Online Magazine of Lutheran Theology.
