How is Crying connected to Shaken Baby Syndrome?

 

For many new parents, a baby’s first cry is beautiful, it marks the beginning of a new family.  The same sound when it continues throughout the day or night…may create other feelings.  Imagine how you might feel after listening to a baby cry for several hours. According to experts, crying is the number one cause of Shaken Baby Syndrome. 

Many caregivers do not recognize the dangers of shaking an infant.   Shaking a baby or toddler can cause serious injury or even death.  It is important to know that crying can cause extreme stress in any caregiver.  Make sure you have a plan on what to do when your baby cries.  Talk to anyone who will care for your child and tell them to never shake your baby.
