The crying of babies and children can be very annoying. There are studies that show that crying is the most unbearable noise there is. But for a baby, crying is their way of asking for something, and if that crying is inconsolable and prolonged, it can lead to frustration and anger in the caregiver.

The shaken baby syndrome, also known as the shaken baby syndrome, is the result of injuries that can occur in an infant or young children up to 5 years old when they are shaken forcefully.

At these ages, the brains and necks of babies are very fragile and not fully formed. Therefore, when they are shaken, their heads move from side to side causing the brain to hit the inside of the skull, resulting in bleeding inside the brain, pressure, brain bruising, and inflammation. Even a gentle impact, like hitting against a mattress or a pillow, can be enough.

This condition can occur with just 5 seconds of shaking, making it easier for an injury to occur in both the acceleration and deceleration phases or when the head hits something.

However, this is not the only reason for this problem. Sometimes, it can occur when trying to revive a baby due to a spasm, choking, or a coughing fit.

Very rarely, it can occur from playing with the child, gently bouncing them, rocking them while playing, lifting them in the air, or trotting with the baby on your back.

Preventing shaken baby syndrome

The shaken baby syndrome is preventable. Just follow one rule: never shake the baby. When a baby cries a lot, there are some tricks that can be considered to try to calm them down: swaddle them in a blanket, massage them, or change their position. Also, the adult in charge of the child in this stressful situation should ask for help and leave the baby with another person.
