Narrative:

ATC advised us of moderate turbulence in the descent from FL200 to 12000 ft MSL. We advised the flight attendant to be seated and secure all the carts. Approximately 5 mins later we hit a jolt of moderate turbulence passing 13000 ft MSL. 5 mins later the flight attendant in charge came forward and told us that she and a small child were knocked to the floor. We asked for priority handling and made a non eventful approach into pdx. We then learned at the gate that 5 flight attendants had been up in the aft galley and all would require medical assistance. Paramedics met the aircraft. No passenger were injured because of turbulence. Little boy was up because father had let him run the aisles when the seat belt sign was on. He fell and cut his head. The flight attendants in the aft cabin were assisting him and the father. That is why they were standing in the aft galley area. A jump seat flight attendant was displaced from her seat by the flight attendant in charge to accommodate this baby and passenger. Report was filled out. Logbook entries were made.
