Yes. These days, by the time a child has grown up he or she has probably grown out of religion and will no longer willingly take part in baptism.
Infant baptism symbolizes exactly the same as what adult baptism symbolizes: new life, forgiveness of sins and the acceptance of Christ as your Lord and savior. Parents are instructed to help their children to love, honor and obey God. Infant baptism shows that the parents are prepared to bring their child up in God's way and to guide him/her as a child of Christ until he/she is able to make his/her own decision to follow Christ.
The godmother along with the godfather promise to help the child being Baptized in the way of the Catholic Church until their Confirmation.
In case something happens to a parent, there will be a godparent to insure the child continues his/her religious education until Confirmation.
Within Christianity it is an act of recognizing God as the creator and that the child belongs to and is a gift from God. It is a pledging to raise the child by God's standards and to teach the child about God. It is not baptism as that cannot occur in those denominations that don't do infant baptism. Baptism does not happen until the child is of a sufficient age and level of understanding to accept Jesus Christ as his personal savior and desires to make an outward expression of the change in his or her life and relationship with Jesus Christ.
A child is Catholic from the moment of their baptism. This applies to any valid baptism, done with water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Therefore a person does not have to belong to the "Roman Catholic Church" to be Catholic, as long as they have a valid baptism. Baptism is the 1st Sacrament of Initiation that washes away the original sin inherited from Adam and Eve, and also "rebirths" the child/person into the new family of Christ (the Church) which is the Body of Christ.
Wait until the child grows up.

Baptism enters children in the kingdom of God, so, Baptism in some way make children a Christian, but until Confirmation, kids that were baptised are Christians. Able to help, Bella
I'm not sure where you got this idea from. Most Christian denominations practise baptism and of those that do, many baptise infants. Those who do not are baptised as adults. In the Roman Catholic Church. and the Anglican Church, baptism of babies is widely practised, and a further service of 'confirmation' is held once the child is old enough to make a commitment to Christ himself - usually iin his or her teen years, although confirmation of adults is also common. Many Christian denominations bring their infant children to their place of worship for baptism taking upon themselves the responsibility to live a "Christian Life". Others wait until the individual is ready to accept Christ individually and then they are baptized. St. Paul writes "There is one faith, one Lord, one baptism." The Roman Catholic Church recognizes all Trinitarian baptism as valid Baptism.
