Maybe 'private baptism'.
Sometimes these were carried out in a hurry if the baby was sickly and not expected to live.

Here's a record of a private baptism from the Church of England in Canada:

Quebec Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967
about Clarence John Minchinton
Name: Clarence John Minchinton
Event Year: 1908
Event: Naissance (Birth)
Religion: Anglican
Place of Worship or Institution: Gaspé (Anglican Church)

Clarence John, son of John
Francis Minchinton of the
Noth West Arm, Gaspé, and of
Beatrice Isobel (Olsen) his
wife, was born on the sixth
and was baptized on the
thirteenth day of September
A.D. Nineteen hundred and eight.

Beatrice Minchinton


Occassionally, there'll be a subsequent record (from 1909 here).

Clarence John, son of John
Francis Minchinton of the
Noth West Arm, Gaspé, and
of Beatris Isobel (Olsen) his
wife, having been privately
baptized, was received into
the Church on the fifteenth
day of July A.D. Nineteen hundred
and nine.
