It's Never OK to Shake a Baby!
In the past few years, a newly recognized injury to children has been identified. This injury is Shaken Baby Syndrome or "SBS". Shaken Baby Syndrome is a serious injury and the results can be devastating.
Learn ways of coping with a crying baby and information on how to prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome. We can all get involved in stopping this destructive injury.
An estimated 1,200 to 1,400 cases of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) occur each year in the United States. Only 1 out of 4 babies dies of Shaken Baby Syndrome. HOWEVER, the other three babies will need ongoing medical attention for the rest of their short lifespans.
