Default Baptism Q

Somerset, 1790s, a small parish where there are only one or two baptisms a month. In this particular year the half dozen baptisms leading up to the one I'm looking at say 'privately baptised'. The entry I'm interested in says 'privately baptised on request'. Can I infer anything from that?

I think this is the only child baptised for this couple, though I am suspicious that other children might include my ancestor. I wondered if they were (usually) non-conformist? The baptised child is named Obed.
