The logical age for baptism would be at about 18, when the person has fully learned and thought about what religion is and means. Of course many who believe in infant baptism have their children baptised soon after birth. This has to with their beliefs about baptism. Others, as stated above, are baptised when they reach the 'age of accountability' which is not specified specifically in The Bible and will vary according to the person.

I believe there is no "designated" age.When someone is to be baptized it should be when they know what they are doing and do it willingly.

A child can be baptized as soon as he/she is born. There isn't a specific age to baptize someone. It can be done at any age.

In Catholicism, which baptizes infants, the child should be baptized as soon as practical after birth in case some unforeseen event occurs resulting in the death of the child.

Who baptized john the Baptist's mum?

John the baptist' mother was never baptised at all until her son John baptised Jesus Christ (the first person to be baptised), it was only then that people decided to come up and be baptised. It never says in the bible if John's mother was baptised or not but she probably was. People got baptised at a much older age back then compared to today's tradition of getting baptised between the age of 0 and 3)
