...baptisms usually happen within the 1st year
of a child's life; and the confirmations happen when they turn 12-13 years of
age; and as far as "expuestos", my mother in law (who is a devout
Catholic) states this is a word used when the child has NOT been
confirmed. They are outside of the church, or possibly going to another
church or have moved out of the area. I hope this helps you out

Hi
Chris,
Confirmations usually occurred within the first year of the
child's
life. Shortly after baptism.
Expuestos means
children who were abandoned in front of somebody's
doorstep.
Sometimes it was a church, often times it was a private
residence.
