A three-month old baby has been flown from Southland Hospital to Starship Hospital in Auckland today after suffering serious injuries following a reported fall at his home.

He was taken to Southland Hospital before being stabilised and transferred to Starship.
Police say their investigation into the incident is at an early stage and it's too soon to provide further details.
The baby's condition remains critical.
