It was not a simple mistake.
This was NOT a live broadcast. 
It was a pre-recorded broadcast that was reviewed by many “helpers”, and the entire Governing Body before being approved for broadcast.
 

baby
1 of 3 noun
ba·by ˈbā-bē    pluralbabies Synonyms of baby 1 a(1) : an extremely young child especially : INFANT   https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/baby   A speaker like S. Lett probably knows how to use a noun and probably knows in which context he can use it. From the video clip, he used the noun in a temporal context that includes the moment/time after the birth of a child by a woman.

Based on the above, we can accept other possibilities of conclusion. The idea "that we have the capacity to become enemies of God" was realized by the very act of God's creation of angels and the first humans.
The possibility and capacity to be an enemy does not arise from the fact that someone is born/created perfect or imperfect, but from the fact that all of them have the freedom to decide that all of them  have free will, which they received from God. So, God is the cause of this possibility for someone to become his enemy. And what are we going to do now?
Free will exists only when we can realize it in reality. Before that it is just a fantasy of the mind. When can a baby realize, exercise its free will? 

Something else is sad. That something else is not a state of wariness of former or "spiritually" weak JWs, but complete trust in one's own religious leaders. Thus, the invitation by which Gerrit Losch asked JWs to have complete trust in GB as if it were Jesus and JHVH is being fulfilled. And other biblical passages are fulfilled which warn us not to trust in the dignitaries of this (WTJWorg) world.

Belief in the theological doctrine that we all inherited the sin of Adam and Eve and are therefore born sinful and therefore destined to make major and minor mistakes throughout life (that we are prone to sin) is a type of assertion and dogma. Claiming that babies are enemies of God is beyond that first concept.
Does the claim/fact that you were born/created imperfect and prone to sin inevitably mean that you are an enemy of God from the first day of your life?
Does the claim/fact that you were born/created perfect mean that you are not an enemy of God?
Adam and Eve were created/born perfect, says the WTJWorg interpretation. Nowhere in the Bible does God call the two of them His enemies, before or after sin.
On the other hand, the rebel perfect angel was called Satan or enemy/adversary only after the rebellion.
When can an imperfect baby be held responsible for rebellion?
Enmity between them and God was not automatically established from the act that happened to Adam and Eve. Because they did not rebel against God in the way that the Angel did. They "just" disobeyed him about eating the fruit from the tree. That is why God had no reason to call them enemies. If God did not call these two adults and mature people enemies, why would, according to the interpretation of GB member S.L. , babies should be considered enemies of God?
The Bible, in its later NT writings, connects the concept of enmity with God to certain activities that cause the persons who do so to be associated with enemies. Babies are never called enemies, as far as i know.
Furthermore, the question of hatred also opens up here. Does the Enemy deserve our hatred? Yes or no? Does God show hatred towards Adam and Eve? Towards Satan? To people who aren't his fans/worshipers?
But JWs are ready to hate "their enemies"? Yes or no?

Choked again eh?
It’s a simple “yes” or “no” answer to a simple “yes” or “no” question.
Something you seem totally incapable of doing.
This is known as “Agenda Lock”.
The Truth will set you Free.

Very simple questions that have“yes”, or “no” answers, Frankie, and you choke … then vomit up a rambling rant of a thousand words to try and deflect that you are defending the indefensible.

Either babies are  the ENEMIES OF GOD.
Or they are not.
So …. which is it Frankie?

Unlike this JW religious leader, Jesus said to do good and love your enemies. 
Jesus never labeled children as enemies of God. On the contrary, he told his followers not to prevent children from reaching him.
Stephen Lett is a false religious teacher because he teaches the opposite of Jesus.

I have come to believe that most jw's are closet atheist, the religion creates soooooo many of them.

Feeling a little down? Think you've really screwed the pooch this time? Come with the Babylon Bee as we crack open the Scriptures and check out some Bible heroes who have done way, way stupider stuff than you!
Adam: You may be feeling a little blue today, but did sin and death enter the world through you? See, it's not so bad.
Samson: His girlfriend betrayed him to be tortured by enemies - TWICE - and the third time, he STILL FELL FOR IT! Come on.
Jonah: This guy legit tried to run away from the Creator of the universe on a boat. Way dumber than you!
Abraham: You may have messed up today, but did you lie about your wife being your sister? TWICE?
Balaam: This prophet of God beat the heck out of his own donkey, who was only trying to save Balaam from getting killed by an angel with a flaming sword. Ouch.
Aaron: First he helps lead the miraculous Exodus, then he leads millions of people into idolatrous demon worship. That's pretty bad!
David: He failed to install a Covenant Eyes filter on his rooftop, leading to adultery, murder and ultimately his kingdom's destruction. Puts your mistakes in perspective.
Paul: Before encountering Jesus, he literally went from town-to-town murdering Christians. Probably worse than what you did today.
Cain: This guy thought offering someone vegetables was a good idea. VEGETABLES!
Peter: One of Jesus's favorite disciples rebuked the Lord over His plan to die for our sins. So, yeah, pretty stupid in hindsight!
Yikes! Feel better now? Sure you do!

I will tell you what drives people to atheism.
…. I will tell you what drives people to atheism.
It’s trying to rationalize absolute crap when there’s only the purview of the insane.
…. like when Governing Body member Stephen Lett says “. …. babies are little enemies of God.”

How many tens of thousands of men and women have been CHASED AWAY from Truth by insane statements such as this?
Listen carefully … Lett’s premise is absurd, actually there are TWO false premises …. and the conclusion is absurd drivel.
We are no more “born as enemies of God” than a puppy, or a baby elephant is born “an enemy of God”.
We are just born.
Without an automatic birthright.
An “ENEMY” is something altogether different.

Or What?

Thats not hard to do since jw's can be stumbled by a fortune cookie.

Sorry, but WTJWorg is not an educational institution. WTJWorg is not a scientific institution.
WTJWorg is a religiously colored corporation. Members are mostly naive in their honesty.
Science has a "right" to make mistakes because they do not claim to be "guided by the holy spirit". GB claims that they are the only ones in the whole world who are "HS driven" so such a claim disqualifies them from their own justification that they are prone to "inaccuracies" because they are not "perfect".

.., So in time of spiritual warfare it is proper to misdirect the enemy by hiding the truth. ...,
 
After this instruction from WTJWorg "Mother Organization", can one really trust what a JW member says?

… this is true about scientific discoveries, a good example is humanities concept of the Atom, and how it changed over time. Each period of time what was known was considered to be “the truth“ and it is understandable the massive errors that only surfaced through time and experience.
1. Ancient Greece (5th century BC):
   - The concept of the atom was first proposed by Greek philosopher Leucippus and his student Democritus. They believed that everything was composed of indivisible particles called "atomos," which means "indivisible" in Greek
2. Dalton's Atomic Theory (early 19th century):
   - In the early 19th century, English chemist John Dalton developed the modern atomic theory. He proposed that all matter is composed of indivisible atoms, each with a specific mass and chemical properties. This theory laid the foundation for the study of chemistry.
3. Discovery of Subatomic Particles (late 19th and early 20th centuries):
   - J.J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897, demonstrating that atoms were not indivisible as previously thought. He proposed the "plum pudding" model, where electrons were embedded in a positively charged sphere.
   - Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment in 1909 led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus. He proposed the nuclear model of the atom, where electrons orbit a central nucleus.
   - Niels Bohr's model in 1913 introduced quantized energy levels for electrons in orbits, which explained the spectral lines of hydrogen
4. Development of Quantum Mechanics (early 20th century):
   - Quantum mechanics, developed by physicists like Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger, revolutionized the understanding of atoms. It introduced the idea of electron wave functions and probabilistic behavior of particles at the atomic level.
5. The Standard Model (20th century):
   - The Standard Model of particle physics, developed in the mid-20th century, describes the fundamental particles and forces in the universe. It includes particles like quarks, leptons, and bosons and provides a comprehensive framework for understanding atomic and subatomic phenomena.
6. Modern Advances (late 20th century to present):
   - Advancements in technology, such as the development of particle accelerators, have allowed scientists to study atoms and subatomic particles with unprecedented precision.
   - The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was a significant milestone in understanding the fundamental particles that make up atoms.
This history reflects humanity's continuous quest to unravel the mysteries of the atom, from the ancient Greeks' philosophical ideas to the development of sophisticated quantum theories and particle physics in the modern era. Our understanding of atoms continues to evolve as scientific research progresses.
…. and that’s OK …. because NONE of these men and women claimed their knowledge was based on, or dependent on a “Special Relationship” with the True God, who provided honest hearted people everywhere clear instructions of what it would take to become Jehovah’s Friend.
What if you got on an airplane flying from Miami to Los Angeles and the Pilots got it wrong six or eight times, and landed you in Montreal, then Santiago, then Houston, then Newark, then Honolulu, etc?
What confidence would you have … what confidence would ANY REASONABLE PERSON HAVE, that the pilots had any idea of how to navigate?
Even if they declared at each landing that they had “New Maps”, how much confidence would ANY non-agenda driven person have?
