Officers from Bellerive CIB, Forensics and Uniform were called to the hospital four hours later and are currently investigating the “suspicious” incident.
They suspect that the child, who remains in a critical condition, may have been seriously assaulted.
A spokesperson said investigations into the incident are expected to take “some time” and urged anyone with information to come forward.
