Best Answer

The baby is just a baby not having a clue as to what is going on. Sadly a baptism should be a personal decision later in life when someone is capable of knowing and believing. The concept of original sin has been manipulated so that a baby will be freed from the sins of Adam.

To answer the question: the baby does not actually do anything, but be held by either the parents or the assigned godparents. The baby is there to be baptised because the parents have taken the example shown in the Epistles when whole households were baptised. Later on in life, the child has the opportunity to reaffirm the Baptismal vows through Confirmation or another formal ceremony in the child's church.

Whenever the Holy Spirit is involved, baptism of infants is a valid Baptism.
