No........but the baby should have a sponsor IF POSSIBLE. The Sponsor is appointed by the Parents (or Parent), or whoever stands in their place, or failing that, by the Parish Priest or Minister of Baptism. The Sponsor must be at least 16 years of age and a baptised catholic, but in an emergency situation, the age rule can be adjusted but that person must be a baptised catholic. A person of another faith can be a sponsor only if there is a catholic sponsor present as well and only as a witness. There is no mention of god parents grandparents in the Code of Church law relating to baptism.

What can you do if your wife wants to have your baby baptized in the Catholic church and you dont?
You should continue to discuss this. A child has the right to be baptized if the parents are willing to do the best they can to bring up the child as Catholic, even if only one does. But if you are disagreeing in this perhaps you can have someone faciliate the discussion. It is not the intent of the church to create family conflicts over what should be a happy occasion. If you were marired in the Catholic Church the catholic oarty took an oath to do the best he or she can to bring up the children as Catholic.
