Babies and the One Ring
I don't think you could "give" the One Ring to a baby - the Ring is an actor in the story and IS the most powerful evil object in all of Middle Earth. It has a tremendous amount of Sauron's power as part of its very makeup and wants to get back to him. It "slipped off" of Isildur's finger and even "got away" from Gollum under the Misty Mountains. It is no accident that these things happened when they did, and there is no assurance that it would not have been able to contrive some other event to escape a helpless baby.
