Is one a sub group of the other? Does either term include toddlers?

I’m having this discussion with someone and we both thought the opposite from eachother and we were quite sure our way of thinking was the common understanding.

    i don’t know the specifics, but i feel they’re just synonyms and they share the same age range they’d represent. in terms of subgroup, id say infant is a subgroup of child based on what i hear and say. Like i wouldn’t say i have an infant baby id just say baby. Or i don’t have a baby child, i have an infant child. 🤷‍♂️
