Neck support

1. Long drives are extremely dangerous for babies
2. The baby's head repeatedly hits the seat due to the bumpy roads.
3. Repeated hits can lead to brain injuries.
4. Support of the baby's neck and head with a cushion is necessary.

This "elephant ears" neck cushion was specifically made to prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome. It supports the neck while the baby is in a car seat, stroller, or bouncer. 

1. Print out two copies of this shape.
2. Cut it out on pieces of cloth.
3. Sew the two pieces of cloth together but leave some space so that you can stuff it.
4. Stuff the cushion.
5. Sew completely.

Founding of Shaken Baby Syndrome

An American radiologist, John Caffey, coined the name whiplash shaken infant syndrome in 1974. It was, however, a British neurosurgeon, Guthkelch who first described shaking as the cause of subdural haemorrhage in infants. Impact was later thought to play a major part in the causation of brain damage. Recently improved neuropathology and imaging techniques have established the cause of brain injury as hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy. Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging is the most sensitive and specific method of confirming a shaking injury. Families of children with subdural haemorrhages should be thoroughly investigated by social welfare agencies.

Parenting Help

  • Tips
If pushed to your limit focus on calming yourself. Put baby in a crib on her back, make sure she is safe, and then walk away; call a friend, relative, neighbor, or parent helpline for support. Check on her every 5 to 10 minutes.
Tell everyone who cares for your baby about the dangers of shaking and what to do if they become frustrated or upset, for example, if baby cries inconsolably.
See a health care professional if you have anger management problems or behavioral concerns.
Offer support to new parents in your family and community by offering to give them a break, sharing a parent helpline number, or simply being a friend.
