Do you think babies should be christened?

In Christian Orthodoxy we christen them right away as many baby deaths occurred in ages passed

We don't have confirmation.. as there isn't any in the bible

    Yes, I'd like my children to be members of the Church as soon as possible. (And it isn't "christened." That's just presenting the child to God. It's "Baptized.)

    If its your family tradition then why not?

    In Islam and Judaism they circumcise male children, christening is no where near as physical.

    I think if you wanna be christened/have circumcision and so on you should do it at the age of 18 of your own free will and no have it thrown at you in a time you can't defend yourself.

    Religious ritual must not be forced upon children who do not even have the capacity to consent.
