Baptism and confirmation have always been two separate sacraments. Christ established them with two different purposes. When the sacraments are received by people can vary though based on several circumstances. If an unbaptized person is an adult convert to Catholicism - they'll receive baptism and confirmationat the same time. In some Eastern Rite Catholic Churches infants receive the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation at the same time. While in Roman/Latin Rite Catholic churches infants are baptized and the sacrament of Confirmation is administered later, when the child is older.
