While there is not proof of infant baptism in The Bible, it is possible to have occurred. For example, in Acts 10, when Cornelius and his household receive the Spirit, Peter has them baptized, without mentioning that it was only the adults. Similarly in Acts 16, when Paul is imprisoned at Philippi, the warden of the prison is converted and "he and all his household were baptized." (16:33) Again, there is no indication that children were included, nor that they were not.

Lacking definitive proof, the Catholic Church goes by its longstanding tradition, from the earliest days and mentioned by various Fathers of the Church, that infants and children would be baptized along with their parents.

Did jesus say you have to be baptized to be saved according to the bible?

This is hard to describe. The term baptize means to be submersed or totally surrounded. In the bible Jesus went down into the river to be baptized by John. It did not say he was submerged but it is implied. Jesus did say in the bible that you must be "born of water and of spirit." This is interpreted to mean to be born physically. of water, and of spirit, of the soul. Bless you on your journey.
