Best Answer

The baby is too young to reason and express his/her desire for baptism. The baby understands nothing about what is happening. The parents and Godparents speak for the child when the priest asks, "What do you desire of the Church?" The child will have the opportunity to 'confirm' that desire at a later time when he/she undergoes Confirmation.
