Don't Shake The Baby

Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS)


As a new mother, i spend most of my freetime (while breastfeeding) attached to a smartphone and read all sorts of information about babies. Amongst all, this is what I fear most.

The increasing number of sudden death due to SBS is alarming. If not death, SBS can also result in permanent brain injury. Usually these baby is taken care by a maid or sent to unlicensed day care centre. What's sad is, all these happened unintentionally and merely due to lack of knowledge.
The act of shaking the baby can easily shake the babies brain and causes damage to it. This is due babies having a large head and the neck is still weak plus not yet fully developed brain.

So, what do we do to avoid SBS?


1. Never shake a baby, regardless of whether ure ANGRY or FRUSTRATED
2. LEAVE the baby in a cot or somebody else while you destressed yourself
3. ASK for help

Takutnya nak hantar anak ke babysitter...Macamana ya? Takkan nak berhenti kerja..hmmmm

Bak kata pepatah , Sayang Anak Timang Timangkan....
