Churches confirm the baptized because often the baptism was done to an infant with God Parents affirming the promises: renounce the devil, believe and follow Jesus Christ, and usually believe the Apostles' Creed. When the child comes to the age of reason, often around thirteen years, the child then personally confirms these promises made on his behalf in the rite called Confirmation. Many churches also affirm the Christian name of the child at baptism, usually, but not always, the given name. Some churches encourage the child to select a personally meaningful private name for use at confirmation. In ancient times, and still in some places, the record of baptism is the earliest official record of a birth.

Roman Catholic AnswerThat depends on how "old" you want to get. Originally, Jesus was baptized in the Jordon river.

Since the establishment of Churches - which would have been after the Christians came out of the catacombs in the 4th century, they have used dedicated baptismal fonts in their Churches.

No. In order to be able to partake of the Holy Sacrament of Communion, you must be baptized and christmated(confirmed) in the Church in which you plan to receive the first communion. However, you are unable to be baptized in both churches, as the church in which the child has been baptized for the second baptism, becomes the Church in which they stand in and can only stay in that church, unless they convert to the other church, and lost the "right" to take communion in the church they converted form.
