It is not a sin nor is it required to baptize your infant. In fact, baptism loses some of its importance and symbolism when preformed on an infant by the will of the infant's parents. This is because baptism is supposed to be a choice of a believer in Christ and is preformed when convicted to do so but not forced by others. Although it is very important for a Christian to go through baptism, it is something they must do on their own accord. Also, baptism represents the renewal of oneself in the immersion of Christ and brings a person into the body of Christ. Therefore, as a parent, one can only raise a child with the right values and beliefs in hopes that he will one day come to the decision of coming to Christ and getting baptized on his own, not make the decision for him.

Why do some christians baptize their young and not others?
The reason that some churches baptize infants and some do not depends upon what their understanding of baptism is and upon what conditions it is offered. Speaking generally.... The churches who not baptize infants practice "believers baptism", that is, the recipient must be of an age where they can choose to be baptized or not by themselves. They see baptism as a sign of the Christian's public profession of faith. Baptism in turn is primarily seen as a dying to sin and a rising with Christ, which is why these same churches frequently baptized by immersion. Churches who baptize infants see baptism as a mark of God's grace freely offered to us without any preconditions on on own (such as a renunciation of sin and a choosing of Christ). It is a mark of God's love, God's claim, on the infant, and is a visible sign that the infant is included in God's family. In many churches the infants parents must be Christians and promise to bring the child up in the Christian faith.
