These issues should have been fully discussed and agreed upon before your wedding.
If you were married in the Catholic Church, then you and your husband freely promised to raise you children as Catholics. You and your husband should respect this promise.
If you were not married in the Catholic Church, then you and your husband need to fully discuss and agree upon how you will teach your children about God, what church will they go to, what religious education will they receive, etc.
With love and prayers in Christ.

Have baptised in the catholic church, then have you son dedicated in the baptist church which does not believe in infant baptism but child dedication. This way both of you are happy and no harm done to your child

it will all depends you are catholic so it is nature to think you will raise your son to be catholic but i would wait until he is old enough to decide for himself.
the worst thing you or your father can do if force him now he will grow up to not want either religion.

I would chose the religion that is practised most in your family. When he is old enough to understand, teach him about the other religion, and then let him decide what he wants to be. He can convert at any time.

give him a break. let him decide for himself. don't go brainwashing him with fairytales. you should rethink your own position also. sounds like some nuns got a hold of you and messed you up. but make sure you still give your 10% so the catholic church can pay for their priests f##king little alterboys.

Differences are resolved best by discussions and wide consultations with those you trust. Then go by consensus

Hmmm. Can you compromise, or possibly have him baptized in both religions? That way you both can have him baptized under your religion.
