Well, in Catholicism, baptism is generally held to be the one thing keeping the baby from eternal damnation, and, according to the Catechism, "The Church and the parents would deny a child the priceless grace of becoming a child of God were they not to confer Baptism shortly after birth." They may not have been immediately browbeaten into it, but they were probably conditioned into just going with it.
Because apparently some christians believe god will send babies to hell, unless some ritual is performed that they're too young to understand?
