Someone please help me account for broken leg and ribs on baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Worrisome...: The baby could have fallen or had an accident, but there is likely something more serious at play. There could be genetic diseases like osteogenesis imperfecta that causes "brittle bones". The other thing of concern would be child abuse. Either way, i would take this very seriously.
