I would like to have my baby get baptized

I grew up catholic and his dad is christian. Even though I grew up catholic I don’t really consider myself religious and I don’t attend church anymore. I am feeling conflicted because my mom and sister would like my baby to get him baptized at a catholic church and I’m fine with that but I’m also fine if it were a christian church. I went to the catholic church I used to go to growing up and the one my mom also goes to get information. To have my baby baptized there we would need to attend church every Sunday and his dad won’t be okay with that obviously because he’s Christian. I wouldn’t say he’s super religious either and he also stopped going to church but he does not like Catholicism. I feel really lost on what to do about this matter and I don’t even know which beliefs I even prefer. I believe in God and that’s it. I just would like to get him baptized. I know this is an issue of my own beliefs and not being able to decide what i believe in and also feeling a bit pressured by mom since she feels being catholic is the only right way.

What would your recommendation be in this case? Please be kind and thanks in advance
