He! It´s great to see a Mexican on the move! I am Belgian and live in Mexico. So I know from living here that being a catholic for most Mexicans is more tradition than belief. My kids either are baptized, because I don´t accept anymore the interference from churches or religions in my family´s live. You decide what to do with your live... not them. I even wrote a little book about me leaving the churches and how I found the way to what You can call "God". Thanks to God I don´t have a religion anymore!

I don't know that much about the Mexican culture around the sacrament of Baptism.
But the Catechism of the Catholic Church states, "Born with a fallen human nature and tainted by original sin, children also have need of the new birth in Baptism to be freed from the power of darkness and brought into the realm of the freedom of the children of God, to which all men are called."
With love in Christ.
