Question

Is it permissible to bathe an infant (who needs a bath) under the age of two on the night of Tisha B'Av? And is it permissible for him to eat meat on the night of Tisha B'Av?

Answer

Bathing - if the child is dirty to the extent that he needs a bath, it is permitted. 

Meat - if there is other food available, it should be given to him. Unless it is necessary for his health.
