Shaken Baby Syndrome
The leading cause of serious head
injuries in infants is physical abuse.
"Shaken baby syndrome" is the
name given to brain, eye, and other
physical trauma created when a per
son shakes a baby, Some of the pos
sible results of shaking a baby are:
Severe mental retardation, Chronic
seizures. Blindness, Cerebral atrophy
(brain shrinkage), Holes in the brain,
Water on the brain, Spastic quad
riplegia (limbs are paralyzed except
for spastic movements), and Death.
Unfortunately, many cases of
shaken baby syndrome are never
known about because the perpetra
tors never seek medical care or re
veal their actions to anyone.
Shaken baby syndrome is devas
tating, but it is entirely preventable.
Never, ever shake a baby. Always
make sure anyone taking care of
your baby knows not to shake him
her. If you are stressed, angry, and
frustrated, find a safe, temporary
caretaker to watch your baby and
gic yourself a break until you calm
clown. If you use a baby sitter or
child caretaker, frequent unan
nounced visits will allow you to
monitor how the caretakers there
treat your child.
