Shaken Baby Syndrome occurs when babies are shaken back and forth. Shaking causes bleeding and swelling in the brain. Parts of the brain may be injured or die.
Severe damage from shaking is most common in very young babies. But, it can happen to children up to 3 years of age.
Most babies are shaken because they are crying. Toddlers are most often shaken for potty training “accidents.”
