I agree with Annie. "A child in uncleanness".
What is the source?

It’s a parish record. I can see that word now. Thanks

Actually, the word Baptised is very clear on the last 2 entries but they look different to what's written for the ones in question?

It looks something like  "in this state" for both those entries. Maybe the word "baptised" was snipped off in the clip.
