I don't even know what board to put this under...
How old was your LO when s/he was baptized? This is assuming LO is baptized so not looking for "we didn't" responses. And, if it matters (which it might?), what religion are you?
-
Lutheran - 3 weeks
-
LO was born in Nov, but we didn't baptize until March, so he was like 4/5 months. No particular reason why we waited though. He was baptized Catholic.
-
Nine months, Catholic. We weren't in any rush, it just happened we were making a trip to visit family then and thought we could fit it in.
-
Catholic - 6 weeks and 8 weeks
-
Our church does adult baptism so they will be baptized when they choose to when they are older, but we do baby dedications instead. Our church only does these twice a year (may and october). My first was 2.5 months and my second will be 3 months. We are non-denominational christians.
-
We are having her dedicated in June so DD will be 6 months
We are Christian -
Catholic - 4 weeks
-
Lutheran and we plan to do any time in first year...
-
Will be at 8 if they choose. Mormon.
-
4 months, Catholic.
-
DS was 10 weeks
DD was 4 monthsCatholic
-
DS1 was 5 months (almost 6m). He was born in Feb, so we waited until the summer so we could have the party outside.
With DS2 coming in July, I think he will be younger, also so the party can be outside.
-
Presbyterian, 9 months
-
6 months--we wanted to wait until the summer so out-of-town grandparents could come. She did great! Protestant Christian.
-
We took longer than average to decide. Started attending an Episcopal Church after our daughter turned one, and decided to stay, long-term. She will be baptized this summer, at two. Godfather lives out of state, so time off and travel arrangements were a consideration. We will likely baptize our hypothetical second when s/he is an infant.
-
We're Catholic. DS1 was baptized at 6 months, DS2 will be 3 months at his baptism.
-
Presbyterian, 8 months.
-
Catholic, 5 months
-
Haven't done it yet. Catholic. Can't do adopted children until adoption is finalized, so probably not til sept.
-
I've attended Catholic baptisms for babies 6 mos to 2 years in age. We will likely tie in a Christian, non-denominational baptism at a year old with the first bday so more VIP family can attend both.
-
Catholic - 2 months to the day. Basically as soon as we could after Baptism class.
-
Lutheran. We probably will baptize but haven't yet and haven't been in a big hurry. Lutherans don't believe in purgatory or anything so there isn't a rush. She'll probably get it done some time between 1 year and 2.
-
Almost 4 months, Catholic. Our church did them almost once a month and that was the first one that worked with our and the godparents schedules. Didn't want to go later and get into winter in New England.
-
26 months old, a little over 2 years old-Catholic. I was lazy about doing it. LO had a lot of fun with it being older, enjoying cake and friends.
-
We will be doing a baby dedication sometime in the next year. She will be 1.5-2.5. Christian (non-denominational)
-
Lutheran - 6 months.
-
Catholic - both boys at about 3 months. Basically, the sooner the better. I waited until 3 months just so that I felt better - as in not as sleep deprived and no longer looked pregnant.
-
Catholic, 5 and 9 mo. Maybe a little old, but we had to wait for godparents to be in town!
-
Russian Orthodox (similar to Greek Orthodox...think My Big Fat Greek Wedding) - 6 weeks
Will likely be around the same time for LO #2.
-
DS was baptized at 4.5 months and DD was baptized last weekend at 3.5 months. We are Catholic.
-
Catholic
DS - 6 weeks
DD - 5 months
DD2 - 7 months -
Protestant (United Church of Canada) and she was baptized at 5 months. Was supposed to be 4 mos, but it was cancelled because of a blizzard. I was nervous about her fitting into my family's 100+ year old baptism gown because it was made for babies that were only a few days old, but we made it work !
-
Catholic- six months, so a little late. But all of our family is far away so it took that long to find a good time. LO #2 is due any day now and we will do his at 2 months.
-
Catholic and 9 months. In her group baptism there was also a 18 month old, and a 2 year old.... In the baptism class there were a few 4-5 yr olds too.
-
Lutheran 4 months
-
Baptism is set for almost exactly two months after he was born. We would like to have done it sooner, but had to plan around a lot of family events and all family being out of town. We are Catholic. We also set the date shortly before he was born.
-
Catholic and I'd like to do it around 9 months. I was baptized around then, nephew at 1 year, and my brother had to sneak his in right before his first communion at age 8!
-
We did a baby dedication (not baptism), and she was 7 months. I would have done it earlier, but there were set Sundays that we could pick from.
-
We had a dedication on my birthday and A was 3 months.
