The next day, the baby was still sick and his parents brought him to the doctor, believing it was a stomach virus.
The infant did not get better condition did not improve by New Year's Day, his parents brought him to the hospital at the doctor's direction, the report adds.
The parents told officials that a live-in nanny cares for the infant, sources told the Post.

Schultz was charged with assault and endangering the welfare of a child, officials said.
According to the report, exams conducted at the Maimonides Medical Center's pediatric intensive care unit revealed that the baby was suffering from both an old bleed and a new bleed in the brain, sings that he had been shaken once in the past and it was not severe, and then shaken again, developing symptoms.

Schultz's arraignment was pending late Monday morning, a spokesman for the Brooklyn District Attorney's office said.
