Different views will be proposed on this but I think that it is not biblical to baptize infants. Baptism in The Bible is a symbol of someone's faith and belief in Jesus Christ (it doesn't save anyone), so then baptizing an infant wouldn't make sence becasue an infant is too young still to have an understanding of God and then believe and trust in Him. Baptism in a person needs to wait until a person is older and after they have belived in and trusted Jesus Christ to be their savior. Then baptism will serve as a public symbol to show that you have made the descision to follow Jesus. Now, you might ask the question "Well, what will an infant do if they die, do they go to heaven or hell?" Well, I think there is an age of which where since the baby doesn't understand belief in God, then the baby will go to heaven. But the won't account for once it is old enough to understand the salvation and saving power of God. Now, there will be differing views on this but I think that this mostly covers the Evangelical Christian view.
This above answer is correct in some ways but it is missing the main reason for Baptism of a baby in the Roman Catholic faith, it is to wash away "Original" sin, the result to make the child pure and without sin. The above answer is more specific to Baptist faith.
The Catholic Church recommends baptism as soon as possible after the baby is born.
