That would seem to be an exaggeration. Wikipedia says 1.7% of the population could count as intersex, but: "Of the 1.7%, 1.5% points (88% of those considered "nondimorphic sexual development" in this figure) consist of individuals with late onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia (LOCAH) which may be asymptomatic but can present after puberty and cause infertility." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex#Prevalence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex#Prevalence)
Are they including people with an asymptomatic condition in the 1.7%? It's not quite clear but if they are that's very strange. Even counting people who have some medical condition related to sex hormones but remain unambiguously male or unambiguously female as "intersex" is arguably misleading for the general public.
In any case, those "late onset" people are not intersex "babies"!
