- 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.
