The priest dips his thumb in Cathecumenorum oil and greases the new-born's breast and moving the hand as for cross says:
"Ego te linio oleo salutis in Christo Jesu Domino nostro, ut habeas vitam aeternam. Amen."
Then the priest pours holy water over the new-born's head and moving the hand as for cross, with emphasis says:
"Ego te baptizo in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti."
At least the priest says:
"Vade in pace, et Dominus siti tecum. Amen."

From "Rituale Romanum" priest's manual edition 1847: baptism formula.
