That used to be the policy in what was to  be teh United States but there was a Vatican instruction condemning the practice.

There was a Vatican instruction not to baptize infants?
Yes, in the 1810s the instruction was to only baptize infants only if there was a reasonable expectation that they would be brought up in the Church. Prior to that the priests were indiscriminately baptizing the infants and children of any and everybody regardless of whether the parents were Catholic or not.

...which is what the Church teaches. Nothing special to see here, Baptism is a sacrament for the faithful, not to just be handed out like cookies at a bad Christmas party. If you aren’t going to be raising your children Catholic, the priest should deny to Baptize your child.

""Whatever differences on points of doctrine may exist amongst the different denominations of Christians, all should be united in the bonds of charity, all should pray for one another, all should be willing to assist one another; and, where we are compelled to disapprove of our neighbor's doctrine, let our disapprobation fall upon his doctrine only, not upon his person.

So we see the rot here already over a hundred years before Vatican II.  He trivializes the Protestant heresy as mere "differences on points of doctrine" that exist among the "different denominations".  No, the Prots are in revolt against the very foundation of all doctrine, the Church.  And the Catholic Church is not merely one of a number of denominations.  No wonder Pius IX had to condemn religious indifferentism already in his day.

It isn't 'Vatican II rot,' it is a recognition that BOD was recognized long before Vatican II as legitimate.
