In most Protestant denominations, a "dedication" is a ceremony for an infant or a young child, and basically represents the parents making a public declaration that they want to bring the child up in that faith (depending on the age of the child at the time, they may or may not understand what is going on).
A baptism (again: in most Protestant denominations), by contrast, is a ceremony where the person being baptized has made a personal decision to follow Christ and wishes to make that decision public by undergoing baptism.
The reason I've specified "Protestant" up to now is that Roman Catholics, and a few other sects, baptize infants. Some Protestants don't consider infant baptism to have any real meaning and may insist that new converts be baptized as adults, even if they were previously members of a faith which practiced infant baptism.

When they're a baby, dedication is when your parents or caregivers want to ask Jesus to help them along while you grow up. Sort of like Baptism, just not the same...
Kind of hard to understand, I know! Hope this helped! :D God bless

Does baptist church have infant baptism?
If infant baptism is considered part of salvation then the baptist church does not do it. Some baptist churches will have an infant dedication that sets aside those that will assist in the christian training of the youth. This may include the laying on of hands, prayer of dedication and a re-dedication of those that are related to the infant. An infant is not considered a church member until the decision is made by the individual to accept Jesus as Savior and request membership.
