No, it's not really odd. Roman Catholics, for example, often had their children baptised at one or two days old, sometimes even on the same day. I don't know whether the mother went with them, though. Probably not. Catholic mothers had to be "churched" before they attended mass again. Sometimes children were christened at home soon after birth if there was a risk that they may not survive.These christenings were then transferred to the church register.
The Peter above is just a possibility. He's got a father called Robert and he's the correct age according to the 1841 census.It does not mean he's the one we're looking for.
