Best Answer

The church priest baptizes the child normally after 40 days of birth.

Catholics and some other religions believe that a child should get baptized after 40 days of birth. But Christians and other religions believe that the child should choose when to get baptized.

We believe this because when you get baptized is to be reborn and all of the sins you have done in the past are forgiven. A baby is just a baby, they have no sins. So baptizing them does nothing. And they do not understand what baptizim is. Christians and other religions, think that the child should understand what they are doing, and sometimes people don't get baptized when they're young, some people in the Christian religion don't get baptized until they're in their 30's, the whole point is that the person decides when they're ready. Because nobody knows when the person is ready, except for that person.

Each religion is different though.
