For the remission of our own sins. There is no original sin. Adam and Eve didn't know it was wrong to disobey God before they ate the forbidden fruit. Our own sins suffice for our own falls from grace.
Besides, it's a commandment of God. Even Jesus had to obey that commandment "to fulfill all righteousness."
catholics believe in original sin, which is passed on from adam and eve. baptism is meant to take away this sin, welcome the baby into the church community, and give the baby graces from God.
People get baptized to have their sins remitted / washed away (Acts 2:38). It is the commandment of Jesus (Matthew 28:19) and it is the first step of one who believes God. Bible says: "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38). Baptism is done for the forgiveness of our sins. Those who believed always get baptized.

Roman Catholic AnswerYou baptise your child because Jesus commanded it, and it is the normal way in which one is born into the Christian life and starts on the path to salvation.from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980
The Sacrament in which, by water and the word of God, a person is cleansed of all sin and reborn and sanctified in Christ to everlasting life. (Etym. Latin ba;tisma; from Greek baptisma, a dipping.
from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994
1213 Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), and the door which give access to the other sacraments. through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God' we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made shares in her mission: "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word."
1214 This sacrament if called Baptism, after the central rite by which it is carried out: to baptize (Greek baptizein means to "plunge" or "immerse"; the "plunge" into the water symbolizes the catechumen's burial into Christ's death, from which he rises up by resurrection with him, as "a new creature."
1216 "This bath is called enlightenment, because those who receive this [catechetical] instruction are enlightened in their understanding. . . ." Having received in Baptism the Word, "the true light that enlightens every man," the person baptized has been "enlightened," he becomes a "son of light," indeed he becomes "light" himself:
Baptism is God's most beautiful and magnificent gift . . . We call it gift, grace, anointing, enlightenment, garment of immortality, bath of rebirth, seal, and most precious gift. It is called gift because it is conferred on those who bring nothing of their own; grace since it is given even to the guilt; Baptism because sin is buried in the water; anointing for it is priestly and royal as are those who are anointed; enlightenment because it radiates light; clothing since it veils our shame; bath because it washes; and seal as it is our guard and the sign of God's Lordship.
1266 The Most Holy Trinity gives the baptized sanctifying grace, the grace of justification:
- enabling them to believe in God, to hope in him, and to love him through the theological virtues;
- giving them the power to live and act under the prompting of the Holy Spirit through the gifts of the Holy Spirit;
- allowing them to grow in goodness through the moral virtues.
Thus the whole organism of the Christian's supernatural life has its roots in Baptism.
A person who has asked this question is unlikely to be fully committed to bringing the child up in this way, and should probably wait until the child can make his or her own decision.
Baptism is not permanent, in the sense that many former Christians were baptised as children, to no ill effect. This means that if a baptised person later chooses another faith, or none at all, the fact of having been baptised creates no bar to that decision. However, some churches insist on a formal abnegation of baptism, which becomes a reason not to baptise until later in life.
So they dont go to hell, it replenishes their sins.
Christian children get baptised to make it known to the public

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)
You can be any age at baptism. Mostly it is babies that are baptised, but it can be children or adults who are baptised too. So there is no set age for baptism.
Not really, Im a Protestant. The thing is that we dont baptise infants full stop. This is because infants dont know what theyre doing so youre just getting them wet.

pray with them or get baptised
