Kamsas soldiers killed the children of Gokula and then Putana tried to kill Krsna!

In the Mahabharata I read Kamsa first send his demons to kill all the infants in Gokula and in Vrindavana and area this is also confirmed in Srimad Bhagavatam of the plans of the demons:

ŚB 10.4.31

एवं चेत्तर्हि भोजेन्द्र पुरग्रामव्रजादिषु ।

अनिर्दशान् निर्दशांश्च हनिष्यामोऽद्य वै शिशून् ॥ ३१ ॥

evaṁ cet tarhi bhojendra

pura-grāma-vrajādiṣu

anirdaśān nirdaśāṁś ca

haniṣyāmo ’dya vai śiśūn

Synonyms

evam — thus; cet — if it is so; tarhi — then; bhoja-indra — O King of Bhoja; pura-grāma-vraja-ādiṣu — in all the towns, villages and pasturing grounds; anirdaśān — those who are less than ten days old; nirdaśān ca — and those who are just over ten days old; haniṣyāmaḥ — we shall kill; adya — beginning from today; vai — indeed; śiśūn — all such children.

Translation

If this is so, O King of the Bhoja dynasty, beginning today we shall kill all the children born in all the villages, towns and pasturing grounds within the past ten days or slightly more.

However two children survived the killing of Kamsas soldiers

one was Krsna ,Nanda Maharajas son and one was the son of a cowherd man called Ramanetra Yadava, his sons name is not mentioned so when Putana came back her task was to kill these 2 remaining children

ŚB 10.6.4

सा खेचर्येकदोत्पत्य पूतना नन्दगोकुलम् ।

योषित्वा माययात्मानं प्राविशत् कामचारिणी ॥ ४ ॥

sā khe-cary ekadotpatya

pūtanā nanda-gokulam

yoṣitvā māyayātmānaṁ

prāviśat kāma-cāriṇī

Synonyms

sā — that (Pūtanā); khe-carī — who traveled in outer space; ekadā — once upon a time; utpatya — was flying; pūtanā — the demon Pūtanā; nanda-gokulam — at the place of Nanda Mahārāja, Gokula; yoṣitvā — converting into a very beautiful woman; māyayā — by mystic power; ātmānam — herself; prāviśat — entered; kāma-cāriṇī — one who could move according to her own desire.

Translation

Once upon a time, Pūtanā Rākṣasī, who could move according to her desire and was wandering in outer space, converted herself by mystic power into a very beautiful woman and thus entered Gokula, the abode of Nanda Mahārāja.

Purport

Rākṣasīs learn mystic powers by which they can travel in outer space without machines. In some parts of India there are still such mystical witches, who can sit on a stick and use it to fly from one place to another in a very short time. This art was known to Pūtanā. Assuming the feature of a very beautiful woman, she entered Nanda Mahārāja’s abode, Gokula.

I thought it was an interesting detail so I am sharing it
