What is Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) and how can it happen?  Brain tissue easily damaged as it moves inside the skull.  Jostling an infant back and forth and playing horsey ride and tossing the kid up in the air can all cause shaken baby syndrome.

 You knew your baby would cry. But, did you know how frustrating that crying could be when you have tried everything to comfort your baby, and she just keeps crying? Dealing with a crying baby can be very hard, and parents often don't realize just how frustrating it is until they are in a stressful situation. No one thinks they will shake their infant, but research shows crying as the number one trigger leading caregivers to violently shake and injure babies. No matter how frustrated you get... Never Shake a Baby

What Happens:  The brain rotates within the skull cavity, injuring or destroying brain tissue.  When shaking occurs, blood vessels feeding the brain can be torn, leading to bleeding around the brain.  Blood pools within the skull, sometimes creating more pressure within the skull and possibly causing additional brain damage.  Retinal (back of the eye) bleeding is very common

Immediate Consequences:  Breathing may stop or be compromised  Extreme irritability  Seizures  Limp arms and legs or rigidity/posturing  Decreased level of consciousness  Vomiting; poor feeding  Inability to suck or swallow  Heart may stop  Death

Long-Term Consequences:  Learning disabilities  Physical disabilities  Visual disabilities or blindness  Hearing impairment  Speech disabilities  Cerebral Palsy  Seizures  Behavior disorders  Cognitive impairment  Death

Why…  Babies' heads are relatively large and heavy, making up about 25% of their total body weight. Their neck muscles are too weak to support such a disproportionately large head.  Babies' brains are immature and more easily injured by shaking.  Babies' blood vessels around the brain are more susceptible to tearing than older children or adults.

When…  Often, perpetrators shake an infant or child out of frustration or anger. This most often occurs when the baby won't stop crying.  Other triggering events include toilet training difficulties and feeding problems.

What are some effects of SBS on a Child?  Cause brain damage.  Sever shaking can cause possible death.

10. What is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome? (SIDS)  Sudden unexplained death of an apparently healthy child. Generally occurs in the first year of life.

Give some prevention strategies for SIDS.  Having the infant sleep on its back is the most recommended.  Do not smoke or be around smokers,  No stuffed animals or soft bedding.  Environment Environment  Sleep positioning Sleep positioning  Breastfeeding Breastfeeding  Co-sleeping Co-sleeping  Secondhand smoke reduction Secondhand smoke reduction  Sleeping area Sleeping area  Bedding Bedding  Sleep sacks Sleep sacks  Pacifiers Pacifiers  Air circulation with fan use Air circulation with fan use  Bumper pads Bumper pads

Feeding Options  Breastfeeding  Healthy for baby, easier to digest, always ready to give the baby, can’t overfeed the baby, helps baby’s immune system, helps mom lose weight  Illness and stress of mom can lessen milk supply, mom’s diet affects milk, lacks iron and fluoride, no one else can help feed

 Formula  Higher in Iron, easier to leave baby, no special clothing for mom, not affected by mom’s diet and life.  Difficult to digest, prep time, expensive

Safety in the bath  never leave the baby,  support the head,  wash the diaper area (dirtiest area) last,  use a washcloth to rinse the hair,  no need for special soaps,  no need to wash daily.  wait to bathe until the cord has fallen off,  have all supplies right next to you.

Toy Safety Guidelines Consider your child’s age when purchasing a toy or game. It’s worth a second to read the instructions and warning labels to make sure it’s just right for your child. Before you’ve settled on the perfect toy, check to make sure there aren’t any small parts or other potential choking hazards. Keep a special eye on small game pieces that may be a choking hazard for young children. While these kinds of games are great for older kids, they can pose a potential danger for younger, curious siblings. After play time is over, use a bin or container to store toys for next time. Make sure there are no holes or hinges that could catch little fingers. In 2010, an estimated 181,500 children were treated in an emergency room for a toy-related injury. That’s 500 kids every day. Nearly half of those injured were children 4 and under. -
