Catholic Baptism

I thought I would post here because I am looking for genuine answers from a religious point of view.
My son is 11 months old and as yet he has not been baptised. The main reason being outside of my immediate parents, nobody seems keen to be Godparents or want to set aside their precious weekend to attend, everyone is far too busy going on holiday or attending other more "fun" events. I feel so sorry for my son, but I am wondering how common this is? And if this is the sign of the modern times we live in, that people are just not that bothered about Baptisms anymore.

Infant baptism is not biblical doctrine, it’s a doctrine of man that has no place in God’s House
