Most Christians baptise their children as babies, although statistics suggest that the majority of those children in most Western countries will desert the Church by their adulthood. For example, the British Social Attitudes survey for 2011 showed that around 65 per cent of British youth identify as having no religion. There are therefore sound reasons to delay baptism until the person is an adult and has made a considered decision. This, despite the doctrine that baptism removes 'original sin'.
Since baptism, even as an adult, is not binding and can, in practice, be revoked without seeking any approval for doing so, there is no actual harm in baptism.

Who baptized john the Baptist's mum?
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)
