How old was DC when christened? (we are Catholic)

HawaiiBrideGrm · January 2010

DD was like 12 days old or something crazy like that. I think we'll wait a bit longer this time since our godparents don't even know they've been picked yet, and no one has attended the classes. LOL. Oh how life is different when it's your 2nd babe;)

DD1 was four months old. Her first month was so hectic with the holidays, and by the time we got our act together, it was the earliest available day after the earliest available baptism class.

We will probably have DD2 baptized when she's around two months. That reminds me, I need to look into how our new parish handles baptisms...

dd1 was 5 months and dd2 was 4 months. I did it around the same age so they could were the same dress.

Eva was four months old. Just be aware that the Catholic church does not do baptisms during Lent, that's why we had to wait that long.

DD was six weeks.

Good point, I never knew that. Thanks.

11m. We had priest issues.

Katie was 4 months old. We had to wait until it was the end of RSV season in order to have it since she was a preemie. We would have typically had her baptized her at 2 months.

DD was around 3 months, I think? We flew home so she could be baptized at DH's family's church, so that was the soonest we could manage. (DH is Catholic, I am not but we attend together.)

It'll probably happen sooner this time; I actually stopped at the church this week to get the paperwork rolling, and since it's been less than two years, we don't have to take the class again.

Our church is a lot more lenient than DH's, too, so we don't have to provide as much documentation. If the godparents can't come out, we can just pick proxies and go ahead with the ceremony, so I think things will happen faster this time.

We are catholic also.

Our boys were born in December and I wanted to have them baptized before lent started, but that didn't happen as the one set of godparents went away the whole month of Feb.

Then of course all the babies are baptized right after Lent. So our boys weren't baptized until June.

My DD was born in April and done in July.

Neither one worked out they way I wanted to.

Not fun holding babies in a hot church, dressed up and sweltering hot!

I am Roman Catholic, my daughter is 2 1/2 and will baptised this year.

Long story.

DS was 4 months old. SIL was the godmother and she always comes to visit for 2 weeks in July(she lives on the West Coast) So we had the baptism when she was here.

We're Catholic as well. Because we live overseas, we had to wait until he was 10 months, because we wanted it done near family.

DD was 4 months when we had her christened

LuckyH · January 2010

DD was 12 days old. I'll probably do the same if we ever have a #2.

Daisy77 · January 2010

DD#2 was baptized when she was exactly one month old.....during Lent in a Catholic church. If I remember correctly, they *will* baptize during Lent, just not during a mass. We choose a private baptism after mass so it wasn't an issue. We (or the Godparents) also didn't have to attend any classes.

In our family we baptize fairly young as they all wear a gown that my grandma made for my dad's baptism over 50 years ago.

MsTammy · January 2010

Both of my boys were baptised at 4 months. Although, Chase was fatter so he couldn't wear the same outfit.

DD will also be baptised this March whe nshe is 4 months. We are actually getting my wedding dress made into a gown for her! I'm pretty excited.

MrsRichardson915 · January 2010

DD was 7 months old. We are also Catholic. We knew we would be moving soon after she was born (we moved about two hours north when she was 3 months) so we wanted to wait until we were settled and found the church we would stay at for good. DC #2 will most likely be baptized a lot sooner than that, I am hoping for 2 months.
