Shaken Baby Syndrome Prevention Campaign

Shaken Baby Syndrome is a term used to describe the damage caused when a baby is shaken.

Why would anyone shake a baby?
A parent or carer may shake a baby when they feel frustrated and distressed from trying to settle a crying baby.

All babies cry and this is normal, but constant crying can be very frustrating and confusing.
