These are great answers. My baby is getting baptized next weekend and he is 10 months. It is interesting to me that there are so many different ways to baptize in the Christian religions.

i have 4 children: one was baptized at 10 years old, one at 8 years old, one at 7 months old, and my fourth child will be baptized by 9 months old. I was baptized at 29 years old, and my husband was baptized when he was 3 months old.

All of my kids were baptized by the time they were 2 months old..I regret doing that now! I regret it because that is a "big" thing and they should be old enough to have a say in if they even want that or not. It's like we as parents pick our kids beliefs..when later on in life when they are old enough to study other religions they might not have wanted to be baptized!..Now I can see ALL those ppl who are outraged by what I've just said...but...let me ask you this...how old was Jesus when he was baptized?....point proven!

We had all three of our children baptized as infants -- when they were just a few weeks old.
Some people argue that they should be older so they understand what is going on -- but I believe that God is doing the miracle here. The child is being brought into God's family and receives forgiveness. God doesn't need the child to understand for Him to still do the miraculous thing being done in baptism.

I think it depends on what your religion might be, my kids have never been baptized. However when they get old enough to understand the concept of living for Christ they will be saved first then baptized. We did dedicate our children when they were infants, but thats different then baptizim. My faith is Baptist.
