A technical question about the long take

Did the actor playing the son really lay there perfectly still for ten minutes or was it a specialist body double or a lifelike doll? The body was rather quite far from the camera, making it hard to tell.

I'm pretty sure it was a dummy. I don't think haneke was that much of a dictator to force a young boy to remain still for an unnecessary amount of time.
