My kids had passports issued three years ago when we went to the US for a friend's wedding. The younger was two weeks old when the photo was taken. The passports are still valid.
The older child's photo is recognisably her but the newborn then looks very different now. I assume authorities allow for that and we should have no trouble with immigration checks (US and maybe Canada soon, some western European countries inside/outside Schengen in May)?
Feel free to point me if there's a thread where this was already covered.

We had no issues with our 4 year old using a passport with a photo of her as a 6mth old, in the USA, recently.....
 
I wouldn't think you should have any problems. I would make sure I had the kids birth certificates with you just in case they ask for it.
