Three-and-a-half-month-old Jaden Joseph Mack was fatally injured in the living room of a house in Ystrad Mynach, South Wales.
He was taken to the Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr where he was pronounced dead.
Police investigating the tragedy said they believe the injuries were caused by two dogs - a Staffordshire bull terrier and a Jack Russell. The dogs have since been destroyed.
Jaden is believed to have been the only child of a couple who were married a year ago.
Neighbours said Jaden was staying with his grandmother when the attack happened.
Neighbours told how they heard her screaming when she discovered what had happened. She is believed to have been treated for shock.
Police confirmed that Jaden's parents were not present in the house and said no arrests have been made.
Neighbour Heather Organ, 47, said she was watching television when she heard screaming.
"The grandmother came out of the house and she was screaming 'The baby is dead! He is dead!' When I entered the room the baby was obviously dead. The baby had a severe injury to his neck."
