In most denominations this has more to do with the Parents promising to raise the child in a Godly way teaching them about the Lord until such time the child can make the decision to follow Christ themselves.

Its more of a dedication type thing. Because you are right, you can't accept something you don't have some sorta understanding about.

Hope that helps.

That is not a Jehovah's witness question really. Jehovah's Witnesses get baptized when they are old enough to understand what they are doing and dedicate their lives to the doing of Jehovah's will. This is true of any one of Jehovah's Witnesses weather hispanic or not. This would not be possible for a baby. Jesus Christ was 30 when he was baptized.

How old do you have to be to be baptised?

That depends on your church's particular beliefs. Some baptize babies after they come home from the hospital. Others wait until teenage years.
