...Shaken baby syndrome (SBS) or Battered Baby Syndrome is a form of child abuse that occurs when an abuser violently shakes an infant or small child, creating a whiplash-type motion that causes acceleration-deceleration injuries. The injury is estimated to affect between 1,200 and 1,600 children every year in the USA. It is common for there to be no external evidence of trauma. Read full entry

Where can I find information I was told by a shop assistant
at a baby store today that
jogging with your baby is
frowned upon due to the
possibility of Shaken Baby
Syndrome occuring. This is why
it's hard to find
three-wheelers designed for
runners in Australia according
to her. I'd like to find out
more about this but haven't
come across too much
information as yet. Is there a
high risk of causing SBS if
you take your one year old
jogging on bitumen or hiking
on unsealed tracks?

Jogging strollers do not cause shaken baby syndrome. You shouldn't use them if your baby does not have enough head and neck strength,which is why most companies say not to use them until after 6 months. |

Shaken babies are usually children of frustrated parents who don't know much about what to expect from babies or how to soothe them. Whatever you can do to educate new or prospective parents about babies will help lower their frustration. Anything you can do to make their lives easier, like a free hour or two of child care, especially in the evening, when babies are fussy, or making sure that physical needs (like food) are met, would be helpful. You could contact the health dept. They know, and might be able to share with you, families who're at-risk. Without saying anything confrontational, you might be able to spend time with these folks, giving them a break and demonstrating how to soothe their baby. |
