Muslim Father, Catholic Mother, who decides religion of baby?

If a baby is born to a Muslim father and Catholic mother, and the parents are not married under UK law, who has the legal right to decide the baby’s religion? I know the baby is Muslim by birth, but mother wants to get the baby christened.

Can I attend my niece’s Christening?

I have recently embraced Islam and my non-muslim family have taken my new faith quite understandingly. My concern is my new niece is about to be Christened; am I allowed to attend?

I acknowledge not to say or have any ceremonial part of this, however if I do not simply attend I worry this may cause conflict between my family (which I value greatly) and I.. Please help, any advice would be appreciated.
