Never Shake a Baby - Educational Video - Part 1

Forceful shaking can permanently disable or kill a child. The injury associated with baby shaking - Shaken Baby Syndrome - is a preventable tragedy. Sadly, some parents and caregivers react to their frustration with a babys crying by shaking the object of their frustration - the baby. This need not happen.
The Kiwanis Club of Ottawa has produced a video, Never shake a baby! What parents and caregivers need to know. It helps parents and those to whom parents entrust their childs care cope effectively with the stress of a childs crying. The video is also increasing public awareness of Shaken Baby Syndrome, and supporting the development of local prevention initiatives across Canada.

I thought you shook a baby to make it stop crying. It kept crying anyway so I just locked the door, went on a week long drunk, and then when I thought it couldn't get any worse I came, all in my pants......So to recap shaking babies rules.

Does anyone know why an adult can withstand a comperable amount of force, even if the head wold not move in the same range of motion, or is the range of motion the primary factor in the resulting injury? Does anyone know? Great video, thanks for adding it to the mix of videos available here. very constructive. - only improvement would be to nost lose the opportunity to show how to wrap a baby appropriately tightly. It has to be dine a particular way. The chance to show it was lost here.
