What Is Shaken Baby Syndrome?
“What is shaken baby syndrome and can bouncing a baby cause shaken baby syndrome? can my 3-year-old still get baby shake syndrome?”
Shaken Baby Syndrome is a serious brain injury that occurs when a parent or a caregiver violently shakes a baby. As the baby’s brain, neck, and skull are still immature, violent shaking can cause swelling, bruising, and bleeding in the brain. As a result, the brain can be permanently damaged, impairing the baby’s future development or even killing them.
It can be seen in children up to 5 years old, but it is more likely during the first year of life (6). It occurs most often in babies younger than six months old.
Shaken Baby Syndrome cannot be caused by tossing a baby in the air, bouncing a baby, or rough play. The force required to cause Shaken Baby Syndrome is so strong that it is very unlikely to happen by accident.

Maravilloso artículo sobre la serie Adolescentes y consejos de gran ayuda en una etapa tan complicada de nuestros hijos , tan desprotegidos frente a las nuevas tecnologías.Es una ayuda tremenda para nosotros. Muchas gracias
I'd imagine this is quite deteremental for a childs development in the long run as nothing stays the same forever, and we shouldn't really be making these categorisations, especially towards our children.
Just live life, sometimes you'll have to be the parent that's the shoulder to cry on. The week after you may have to raise your voice a little when everyone is in a rush and you're trying to get your children's shoes on.
Just balance it all out, don't be too self critical and pick up on what your child wants and needs.
Again, great writeup!
Thank you so much for your comment. I totally get what you mean. It is always difficult to have kids living with you, wanting to support them and their parents but at the same time not wanting to step in anyone's toes.
