How does God's sovereignty relate to the salvation of infants?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty assures that all dying infants are saved according to His eternal plan of grace.

God’s sovereignty is a foundational doctrine that encourages confidence in the salvation of infants. It establishes the belief that God, in His infinite wisdom, exercises His grace even in the lives of those who have not yet reached an age of moral accountability. The doctrine of sovereign grace posits that salvation is not dependent on individual actions or decisions but solely on God’s will and purpose. Therefore, God’s choice to save infants is a manifestation of His compassionate nature and His overarching plan to bring a multitude to Himself, encompassing those who die young. The conviction held by many Reformed theologians is that God’s sovereignty is exercised even in instances of infant mortality.
