Who waits until their child is 9 months old before having them baptized?

Anyone taking their child half-way around the globe to be baptized.

Many Protestants wait until family can come.

I did. We don't believe (I'm Presbyterian) that baptism is necessary for the child to get into heaven if he/she dies. It's a sign that he/she belongs to God. So timing makes little difference.
