A man accused of murdering his 16-month-old stepson north of Brisbane remains in custody.

Paramedics were called to a Burpengary address on December 30 in relation to the medical welfare of a child.

The boy was transported to hospital in a critical condition and died just over a week later, with the cause of death still unknown.

He was at home with his mother and his mother's partner before emergency services arrived.

Aaron Harley James, 33, did not appear as the matter was mentioned in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Thursday.

James was remanded in custody for mention on March 28.
