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.

    Infants and babies are the same. Some people will continue calling their child a baby long after it is no longer a baby though. I have never seen someone continue to call their child an infant. So of the two, infant is more precise. A baby or infant will progress to become a toddler.
