Caring for an Infant

SIDS Sudden Infant Death Syndrome The sudden, unexplained death of an apparently healthy child. They are often under one year old.

Prevention Strategies for SIDS Have the child sleep on their back. Do not sleep with soft bedding, pillows, or stuffed animals Avoid smoking and second-hand smoke both during and after pregnancy.

Four Basic Cries Hunger - The most demanding cry Pain - Most obvious, fearful cry of all Bored - Grows louder and more intense if ignored Anger - Loud, demanding and varied Meeting crying needs appropriately develops trust and teaches a child about positive attention getting.

Crying Plan Have a crying plan so that when the baby cries you know what to do or check and how to handle it.

Crying Plan Check for the basic needs: Hungry Needing a diaper change Is too hot or cold Has a fever or illness Sensitivities to milk consumed (breast or bottle)

Crying Plan Try various calming techniques: Rocking Singing Warm Bath Car Ride White Noise

Coping Threshold How much a person can take of something. If you reach your coping threshold for crying, try the following: Put the baby in its crib Close the door Go do something to relieve your stress Play loud music, vacuum, watch TV, sit on the front porch

Anyone Can Lose It Everyone is a potential abuser based on the abuse formula: Child + Caregiver + Stress = Abuse

Shaken Baby Syndrome Caused by jostling an infant’s head and neck back and forth with enough force that the brain tissue moves inside the skull and becomes damaged. Usually in an effort to make the child stop crying.

Consequences to the Infant If the child is shaken and lives: Child’s quality of life may be compromised Suffer long term disabilities Brain damage Paralysis Blindness Shaking a child under 2 years old can cause permanent brain damage and possibly death.

What Can We Do? We are all at risk for shaking a baby. A tired, stressed out caregiver can lose control and shake a baby to get it to stop crying. Our job is not to stop the crying, but to find out why the baby is crying and do our best to meet the baby’s needs.

Elijah’s Story This is a shaken baby syndrome documentary. The short life of Elijah, a 16-month-old baby boy who was shaken to death by his biological father.

Summary SIDS is an unexpected death of an infant. Look for ways to prevent this from happening. Babies will cry. Be prepared for that. Figure out your crying plan and never shake a baby!!
