Baptism at St Mary Paddington, 7 May 1848
Born 18 April 1848
Ellen Rebecca
Parents George + Harriet Paxton
Abode Salem Road Bayswater
Father a Wood sawyer
Would it have been hard to get away with pretending one was the baby's biological parents, even if the baby in question was born only 3 weeks prior (to the baptism)

No it would not have been hard

I investigated a baby trafficking case and many of the adoptive mothers travelled to a different town with her husband..+!they had the baptism of the  child that they had just had delivered to them.
