    I think it's privatum - a private baptism, not in the church.

    Could it have been done by someone present at the birth? Maybe the child was sickly?

    I think private could well be correct, the one above has the same word and established conditional or similar, both baptised the same day by the same priest, both Rotunda and both missing the second last column entry.

    Perhaps born in the Rotunda hospital and both sickly.

    The child only survived for 19 days so I think your suggestions of a baptism possibly taking place in the hospital is spot on, thanks.

    I agree: privatum

    I would say "proatim" meaning "in advance" - basically saying it's being done just in case or provisionally.

    Latin for "private" is "privatus".

    It gives examples at the top/header of that column:

    Circumstantiæ ex Rit. Rom. apponendæ, e. g. si fuerit adultus, recens conversus, sub conditione vel privatim Baptisatus, expositus, etc.

    which means

    Circumstances of the rite, for example, if an adult, recent convert, previously baptized privately, etcetera
