Is not this a violation of a basic right, freedom of association?
In the example above, the guardians of the baby made a decision for that person.
The baby, when older, is free to disassociate from that country and join another one, or do as they please.

So, in other words that forced "association" without consent became null, void. In other words, nobody can force you to do anything without your consent, right?

It's not forced.
The parents are the legal guardians of the child, so for all intents and purposes it is the same as if the child decided to become a citizen themselves.

Why do you keep saying "legal" and not "natural" ? What is the meaning of the word "parent" ?

Legal guardian is a more broad term that includes natural guardian:
A minor child's parents are the child's natural guardians
What is the meaning of the word "parent" ?
A parent in this case refers to either the progenitor of a child or the adoptive parent.

Note: It should be noted that a named living person has not claimed guardianship and therefore responsibility over the child.
Sure, if a person in the middle of the wilderness has a kid, then yeah, like any other animal, there's no responsibility over the child.
But in a particular society, there are rules, and they protect the kid for example so that the parents have responsibilities over the child if it is born in that country.
By using the word parent you are implicitly assuming a society. Language is not created in a vacuum. It needs a society.

Can a state be sovereign?
Yes. A sovereign state is a state that has authority over a territory.
Who is this "State" ?
There are hundreds of different states currently in the world, each one of them with different rules. For example, in some of them you don't get citizenship by simply being born there, you need to have extra requirements, like your parents being permanent residents or citizens themselves first.
