Can patting a baby's bum too hard cause shaken baby syndrome?

Best Answers

No, absolutely not. Shaken Baby Syndrome is caused by the violent whipping back and forth of the baby's head. In turn, that violent back and forth causes the baby's brain to slam around inside his head and that causes damage to the brain. read more

I was so mad. A little bouncing, gentle and calming is natural and okay. Shaking baby syndrome is when a baby is shaken and their head violently goes back and forth so much that the brain receives bruising from hitting the skull during the motion. Bouncing does not make the head go in that motion nor is it hard enough to cause such a thing. read more
