Shaken Baby Syndrome: Prevention
-
NEVER shake a baby or child, whether in play or in anger.
- Do not hold your baby during an argument.
- If you find yourself becoming annoyed or angry with your baby, put him in the crib and leave the room. Try to calm down. Call someone for support.
- Call a friend or relative to come and stay with the child if you feel out of control.
- There are resources available such as a local crisis hotline or child abuse hotline.
- Seek the help of a counselor and attend parenting classes.
- Do not ignore the signs if you suspect child abuse in your home or the home of someone you know.
