The toddler, who was named by the force over the weekend, was taken to hospital by ambulance but sadly died.
Senior investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector Matthew Hollingsworth said on Sunday: "Officers are supporting the boy's family and they ask for privacy as they grieve.
"My thoughts, and the thoughts of all those working on this murder investigation, remain with the family."
