Little AK also had scratches on both his cheeks, and his nose. I think they are unlikely to be self-inflicted by a ragged baby nail or nails, because that would mean inflicted by both hands and their hand movements are uncoordinated at that age. Even if his arms were flailing, that would mean both hands were on his face. I also don't see how it is possible for such a young baby to be resistant while being put in his car seat, to flail his arms, or have them up near his face, the manoeuvre involving shoulders and upper arms being positioned with adult hands to keep his arms down while the straps are slipped over his shoulders. And even if it was in the process of setting him in the car seat, she would be holding him underneath each armpit, preventing arms flailing near his face, IMO.
