Often, as we cling to baby, he is inevitably shaken. This often happens at playtime, and we assume that it has no effect. But did you know that it can be harmful to her health?
According to experts, shaking a baby may lead to SHAKEN BABY SYNDROME. It is a serious brain injury that results from a concussion of the baby's brain.
When a baby is shaken violently, his brain may clash inside his skull. This will cause inflammation or in the worst-case scenario, bleeding. This is especially dangerous for 2-year-olds because their neck muscles are still soft.
Even FIVE SECOND shakes can result in Shaken Baby Syndrome! But it is most often seen in children who are being bullied or abused.
What are the symptoms of Shaken Baby Syndrome?
1. After shaking the baby is sleepy
2. body shaking
3. vomiting
4. convulsions
5. difficulty breathing
If your child experiences these symptoms after he or she is shaken violently, it is best to consult your doctor immediately.
NOTE! Even if she's shaken for only a few minutes, the baby may experience permanent brain damage, hearing loss, vision loss, and intellectual disabilities.
How can this be avoided?
1. Make sure the baby is safe, especially if he or she is only 6-8 weeks old.
2. If your baby is crying and you feel that your patience is running out, don't hesitate to ask for help. This is so much better than being able to shake your baby up so much!
3. Avoid bumping the baby repeatedly. Observe his actions especially when he is moving and playing.
