Another option could be what happens with the kid in Eragon.

The kid's wish would logically need to be very simple, basic-needs kind of stuff, so any drama involved will have to be about how the wish is fulfilled. Either A. Nothing happens because the wish is fulfilled in a reasonable manner or B. Something goes wrong with how the wish gets fulfilled...
Examples:
- If A., he gets a bowl of mashed 'nanners magically appearing on the table. No drama.
- If B., the kid "decides" that he wants Mommy to be there all the time, so at the very least she's teleported to the kid every time he cries, or, if it's really bad, every time the kid wants Mommy, he gets one. A new one. Mommy clones are popping into existence at an alarming rate...
(They did an episode of Charmed where the toddler Wyatt decides to use his powers to bring his toys to life and his favorite dragon starts flying around San Francisco attracting attention.)
Oh yeah i remember that episode. That was when The Cleaners came and took him away, haha. Wyatt was a baby when he did that but at about 1-2ish he also brought his action figures to life because it was the best way he could think of to let everyone know he missed his father.

Wow, your character let an infant draw from the Deck of Many Things? I'm sure there's some parenting guidance on that subject.
Personally I'd leave it as something really mundane, like his nappy (diaper for you Americans) got instantly changed. Or, if you want to make it a little more awesome, it's now a self-cleaning nappy.

The infant has no language skills. At best, you're talking about "mama" or blowing spit-bubbles. How could it even express a wish?

My initial post reads the following, you probably missed it:
"For those wondering how a one week infant could even get in such a position: my character, the mom, was forced to draw a card from the deck of many things. The card read that she was required to draw another card, and its effect would be bestowed on the person she loved most."
The infant has no language skills. At best, you're talking about "mama" or blowing spit-bubbles. How could it even express a wish?
This is exactly the point of this topic. Would the spell require her to speak out words, would a simple feeling/desire already trigger it, or would it just go to waste.

It would work in a way that is the most interesting and fun to the players, regardless of the rules.

Well that is one of the 5 most remembered episodes of twilight zone so most of us know it.
The sea looks at the stabillity of the mountian and sighs.
The mountian watches the freedom of the sea and cries.

A couple of people mentioned "Charmed" episodes. What about, taking from the genie episodes from that series, the first time the child says, "I wish..." the wish is granted.
