In the Purattasi issue of Sudarshanam, it was mentioned that a baby can be taken to the temple even before the baby’s first birthday. If so, can the baby accept the shathari offered?It is a general practice for people to perform archana at temples for their respective names on their date of birth. Can we perform archana at the temple after bharanyasam?

If shathari is offered to the baby, it can be accepted.
Based on the perspective that after having surrendered the soul unto Perumal, we don’t need to do anything for own self and hence the archana is done in Perumal’s name and it is not a practice to do it in our name. Even if done in our names, no harm in the practice.
