Make Sure No One Shakes Your Baby!

Did you Know…

Shaken Baby Syndrome is a form of head trauma caused by violent shaking.
As early as 1972, a noted physician called for a nationwide campaign to alert parents to the dangers of shaking babies.
25-50% of the American public does NOT know that shaking an infant can cause brain damage or death.
Two-thirds of shaken infants result in death or mental and physical disabilities.
Research indicates that crying is frequently the behavior that precipitates shaking a baby and caregivers and/or parents often react out of stress to a crying baby.

Professionals and the general public alike should be aware of the dangers of shaking babies.

Shaking a baby can be deadly!
