limbo was the reason why a lot of newborns were *unofficially* baptized in the kitchen sink, by their grandmothers, who, of course, were in the State of Grace..

I baptized both my kids at their first bath when we got home from the hospital.

At the baptismal training the Deacon told us that the requirements for baptism included 1) pouring water and 2) saying "I baptize you in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit."

We had the official church baptism ceremony later. I was glad to have avoided limbo for my kids by taking care of the original sin issue.
