In Catholic practice, one is baptised as an infant if one is born into the Church, or one is baptised when one joins the Church as an adult, if one had not previously been baptised as a Christian in another Christian faith.
There is no set age for infant baptism, although the 8th day is traditionally significant, as it was the day Jewish infants were circumcised, and baptism replaced circumcision as the sign of the relationship one entered with God as part of his people.
Biblical, after the age of consent, when and so after you accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
In the Catholic faith they also baptize infants, commonly referred to as a
Christening.

"The eunuch asked Phillip, "Tell me, about whom does the prophet say this? Is he talking about himself or someone else?" Starting with that passage, Phillip proclaimed the good news about Jesus to him. As they went down the road, they came to some water. The eunuch said, "Look! Water! What would keep me from being baptized?" He ordered the carriage halt. Both Phillip and the enunch went down to the water where Phillip baptized him."

Baptism is a sacrament that is usually performed by a priest or deacon, but in emergencies it can be performed by any lay person as long as the form is correct. The words that are necessary are "I baptize you (name) in the name of the Father & of the Son & of the Holy Spirit." At a baptismal ceremony there is holy water as well as chrism to anoint the person, in the case of an emergency baptism only water is required, it can be tap water although if holy water is available that would be better.
There are also two other kinds of baptism, baptism of desire and baptism by blood. Baptism of desire--an example, let's say a non-christian/ catholic was in an accident and had no opportunity to be baptized before they died, but they had a true and sincere desire for Christ. The other kind of baptism- by blood. Let us also use an example of a non-Christian/Catholic who has a desire for Christ but they are martyred before they can get baptized with water. They are baptized by their blood and we believe since they died for the Christian faith that they are saved.
