Homo economicus is Latin for 'economic man' Would 'infans economicus' the right translation of this phrase as applied to a baby?

It depends on the gender of the baby in question. 'infans' can be taken as a masculine or feminine noun, depending on the sex of the baby. It is declined the same way in both cases, so the use of 'infans' is correct regardless. However, the adjective 'economicus' must agree with the gender of the noun it modifies, in this case, 'infans'. Therefore, if the baby is male we have 'infans economicus' but in the case of a female baby we have 'infans economica'.
Presumably you are using it in a general case, not specific to a certain child, so the male form 'infans economicus' is fine.

What is the latin translation for child of the sea?
You would usually use either son or daughter here: "filius/filia maris". If you must use a literal translation, it would have to be infans, but that sounds a bit odd. You could use seed of the sea, "satus/sata/satum maris", where -us is masculine, -a feminine, -um neuter. This would be a natural metaphor is Latin. No matching link found. No matching link found.

An infant (from the Latin word infans, meaning "unable to speak" or "speechless") is the very young offspring of a human or animal. When applied to humans, the term is usually considered synonymous with baby or bairn (Scotland), but the latter is commonly applied to the young of any animal. When a human child learns to walk, the term toddler may be used instead.The term infant is typically applied to young children between the ages of 1 month and 12 months; however, definitions may vary between birth and 1 year of age, or even between birth and 2 years of age. A newborn is an infant who is only hours, days, or up to a few weeks old. In medical contexts, newborn or neonate (from Latin, neonatus, newborn) refers to an infant in the first 28 days after birth;[1] the term applies to premature infants, postmature infants, and full term infants. Before birth, the term fetus is used.
What is the Origin of infantry?
http://www.militaryimages.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4011 Word History: So, you have wondered when the infantry was composed of infants. It is a good question since this Good Word should refer to a collection of babies. In fact, however, it comes from French infanterie, a word the French borrowed from Old Italian infanteria, which was a collection of infante "youth, foot soldier." The Italian word came down from Latin infans "infant", its meaning rusted a bit in the river of time. Now it really gets interesting. The Latin infans (infant- with endings) was a derivation from in- "not" + fans, the present participle of fari "to speak", i.e. "not speaking". For those of you who doubt that humans are distinguished from other species by speech, harken: even the ancestors of the Romans thought so.
