Anybody see a problem?

Yeah; I see a huge a problem. To delay the baptism of newborns of a practicing Catholic family is reprehensible. These parishes are risking the salvation of those innocent children.

I’m not a follower of the RCC personally. But through the centuries what is the normal time that a newborn would be sprinkled or Christened? Are we normally talking a few days after being born, weeks, months? Immediately?

What is the historical standard a Catholic parent would expect to be a normal time to do it within?

In my personal experience, I only had to attend once, instead of every time for my kids.

Besides, if there is a dire crisis, the parent can baptize the child. Is it optimal or preferred? No. Is it possible? Sure.
