In the Orthodox Church, baptisms are traditionally not performed during Great Lent, the 40 days leading into Easter. This period is considered a time of fasting and preparation for the celebration of the Resurrection. However, exceptions may be made in certain circumstances, such as for emergencies or specific pastoral reasons. It's best to consult with the local priest for guidance on this matter.
