I watch a documentary a year or two ago which looked over carthage (i think maybe the documentary that went with BBC's Hannibal) and they basically said that the sources on child sacrifice were Roman and the bible, and we know how accurate that is after all every enemy of the isrealites was deamonised along with thier gods.
I think in the docmentary it was mistaken ritual burial of children and babies that caused the rumours of child sacrifice.
