There is no hard rule on this in the Baptist church. It depends on the maturity of the individual and the opinion of the pastor. So these matters will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

baptizing has nothing to do with age all that matters is that the person that is being baptized is a believer because when you are being baptized you are giving a public account that you believe that Jesus died for your sins then rose again in three days. its important not to let a young child falsely believe that they are saved just cause they are baptized. in fact you don't need to be baptized to go to heaven.

It seams, that every one has Baptism wrong. You have to be of the age, where you can make up your own mind, and heart.
You get baptized, when you make up your mind and heart, that you are going to repent and sin no more, you have to do this for your self, no one can do it for you. Every one has to repent of there own sins, and come to God, and ask for his grace, and forgiveness of our sins. You can't bring any one to be baptized, they have to come of there own free will, with the mind set of repentant.

Since Baptism is the new circumcision it would seem that 8 days old would be biblically perfect.

When they can make a conscience decision to accept Christ and follow Him. (Any age.) It is the sign of Christ's death, burial and resurrection.
