The Westminster Confession of Faith is the confession that I confess as true Christian doctrine. It is the confession of the denomination I am a member of, The Presbyterian Church in America.
Here is our position on baptism:
WCF Chapter 28 Sections 4 and 5.
IV. Not only those that do actually profess faith in and obedience unto Christ,[11] but also the infants of one, or both, believing parents, are to be baptized.[12]
V. Although it is a great sin to contemn or neglect this ordinance,[13] yet grace and salvation are not so inseparably annexed unto it, as that no person can be regenerated, or saved, without it:[14] or, that all that are baptized are undoubtedly regenerated.[15]

Note: Numerical links hold the scriptural support for the WCF.
All who hold to the WCF correctly and biblically confess that it is a sin for believers in Christ to neglect their Christian duty to baptize their children.
This is the position of all other Churches who confess the Westminster Confession of Faith as well.
Note: It is nice to have a Presbyterian forum where I am free to post my denomination's position on baptism, a most important and beloved sacrament. Thanks for making a Presbyterian forum.
