I remember feeling sleep deprived overwhelmed, emotionally drained and overall not myself with my daughter. When I identified my limit has been reached and no one was there to help me, I put her in her crib, went into the other room and put headphones with calming music on. In about 10 minutes I regained my composure and came back to her. I think it was the right thing to do and I didn't do this every day
Definitely so I have had to do the same many times it’s okay ❤
Tch, no one would blame you if you did this everyday as long as you left the baby in a safe area away from the window blinds, you're good. Those who judge you for that don't know any better.
thank God you did. ❤you are amazing
When you're exhausted and caring for your baby alone and they are being very fussy, feeling frustration is normal and doesnt make you a bad parent.
You did exactly the right thing that a responsible parent does. You made sure the baby was in a safe place, and went into the other room for 10 minutes to calm down and become composed.
That’s why I’m afraid to let others touch nor babysit my baby. I don’t trust others. I don’t know them. But I know me. And my baby is my life.
What a pathetic life
Nobody wants your baby anyway lmfao
This is why no one else will be babysitting my newborn except my immediate family like my mum or mother in law.
Smart, me too.
While that’s a great rule, shaken baby syndrome can be caused by anyone as its usually accidental in response to severe stress
Spread awareness. Most people don't know about this. Tell your immediate family member about it too so they don't accidentally try it because they are tired or frustrated
I’m a new dad my boy is 6 days old I couldn’t imagine someone shaking someone so precious. Even when my boy is crying non stop it’s so fucking cute. Shout out to all the real men and great fathers. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I hope your boy finds nothing but love and happiness from you and his momma. ❤️❤️❤️ have a beautiful night and try and get some rest !
@Iamnotgoingbackandforthmy baby is 7 weeks old and I feel the same way. Sue me
The first days most people wont shake their babies its the months after.. also a lot of people take care of their babies alone. So when youre very tired and youre the only mother the sounds of the crying isnt cute 😂. Im glad my son almost never cried.. but when he did i really didnt think it was cute.. its sad when they cry..i dont understand how you could find that cute.😅
I can’t even imagine the rage you would have for the person who did this to your baby on top of the grieving
This is super Important to know. We watched a video before leaving the hospital about purple crying that includes tips to prevent shaking a baby. Our daughter was a difficult baby. Especially in the beginning with colic. Several times in the beginning when I was on leave and my husband was at work during the evening I would have to put her in a safe place and just go out on the balcony for a few deep breaths. Many people don’t realize how hard it is when you’re lacking sleep and your baby is crying nonstop for hours without being able to console them. That lasted 6 weeks and I did that alone starting around 5-6 until my husband got home around 10. We alway tell our friends that you do what you need to do to survive those 1st 6 weeks because it was rough.
Why the government doesn’t have TV spots like this I’ll never understand. Young parents often have no clue that shaking will hurt a baby. They might get frustrated and think shaking is better than hitting a child and so they think they’re not really abusing the baby. This should definitely be something that EVERY new parent is taught before they leave the hospital. It could save a life or prevent the ruining of a child’s life. Very young parents usually have no way of knowing that shaking could harm a baby!
The weird thing is that hitting is actually a less damaging form of abuse than shaking... Usually
New mama here and I'm scared of anyone doing this to her. Even when she is screaming in my ear, I am so calm, it almost surprises me on how calm I am. I don't understand how someone can do this..
Baby's cry to express their needs some adult s can't even understand other adults. 😢
LuL, I don't know why people don't just put on lawnmowing earphones when changing a baby or if the baby is crying and you get annoyed, just put them in their crib and close the door till they calm down. I did this with babies before and they're fine.
I could barely watch that video simulation of a baby being shaken it was too scary to even imagine the pain a baby would feel with that happening to them 😢
🤧😖 I wish Cynthia was alive today she would been a beautiful mother I'm so sorry for loss Im crying atm I'm only an animal mom but I can only image what that poor family had to go through
Put them in a crib a leave for a minute. You okay. I promise.
This video should be for new parents, parents in general, caretakers, nurses, etc, not just for new dads.
I know when I left the hospital dad and I had to watch this video mine was a little different bc mine included mothers point of view like the challenges of breast feeding how it leads to lack of sleep postatum depression & anxiety and how all this can cause moms to feel frustrated but we were both educated on how not to shake our baby and that’s really what’s important we BOTH learned and we’re informed especially as new parents then we had to sign a paper
This is why I am a SAHM and no one else watches our children except me or my husband! You can’t trust anyone- a nurse harmed one of the children!! Unbelievable
the worst stories are the ones where the dad shakes the baby, these mothers trusted their husbands and boyfriends and they STILL do it. you can only really trust yourself sadly, that being said i'm sure your husband is just as protective of your child as you, im glad youre both patient parents and can give each other a break.. i just wanted to point out that even stay at home moms trust the dad and the dad hurts the child ): i feel like theres probably warning signs that they miss in the moment though
If ur bby is crying do much and nothing is soothing them go drink water smoke a cigarette just leave for 5 min make sure bby is safe and just take 5 min away
thank you for making this, i had no idea this was a thing, we watched this in high school during a child development class, i cried when i saw this and cried even more when they brought in the shaken infant simulator, a life size baby doll with a clear plastic head and a visible brain, when you turned the simulator on it would cry until you shake it hard enough that it kills the simulator. i could not shake the simulator, i could not do it i just held it and cried knowing how many little lives had to die to make this simulator a thing
I thank God for having healthy babies and an involved wife. I’ve never gotten so frustrated to the point that I couldn’t control my own actions, but I can see parents with sick children or intellectually deficient children getting extremely frustrated. But how could a parent choose to shake or harm a child instead of walking away? I just don’t think there is any reason why or how this can happen.
I think in those cases it reached the point where parents couldn't control themselves. I don't have kids but I have experienced watching friend's baby cry for about 4 hours literally non-stop. The way your head stops working... There's a not stopping noise which is so loud that you can't hear your own thoughts, you slept only 5 hours and are already tired, and you don't think you can just leave the baby because it somehow considered bad even if it's only 10 mins. So yeah, I can imagine what a parent feels when that happens.
It's just terrible. I hope that this video still helps new parents to overcome that problem. And if I will ever want to have kids, I'll re-watch all these videos about different syndromes
They snap. They don’t choose. Anger is a biological reaction. They aren’t aware of when they’re getting to a breaking
Don’t get me wrong it’s inexcusable, but also completely understandable how it can get to that point. A lot of the time sleepless nights, post partum depression, relationships problems and just having to take care of a baby all alone, can all lead to one fatal decision where you shake your baby in the heat of the moment not thinking of the consequences.
And a lot of parents and caregivers, actually do not know shaken baby syndrome exists and is extremely dangerous. Like most people know you shouldn’t shake a baby but a lot don’t realise that even just shaking them can result in death
I hope the "caregiver" that shook that poor baby so hard she passed away is in jail 😠
I imagine the other prisoners would have a similar attitude to people like that as they do to pedophiles, she probably got what she deserved
Sad not all caregiver do that I was a nanny for years I never never put a hand on the children
HOW AWFUL TO BE ABUSED.
I work as a toddler teacher and I do get frustrated with the babies. I would never shake them or be aggressive with them. I’ve worked with kids for 12 years and I’ve never shake a child like that.
Sorry for what happened to there children 😢
I hope the people who did this get the life snatched right out of them, for stealing the lives of the most innocent! MONSTERS!!!!
I pray they repent. The babies are in Heaven or will go to Heaven................ but THEY are bound for hell if they don't repent for what they did...
@Catholic Femininity I can only hope that someone makes their lives hell on Earth, before they die. Death is too quick a punishment
I want to know what happened to the demons who did this to these innocent defenceless babies. You lost your temper, you were tired and the baby just wouldn’t stop crying, it was only a few seconds, you didn’t think it would hurt them…yeah, use any excuse. I have sympathy for any parent/caregiver who is overwhelmed, and I’d never shame someone for asking for help or admitting they have the urge to harm their child. That is a brave and selfless thing to do, admitting that you need help for your child’s safety. But people who actually take their anger and frustration out on the baby instead, killing them or causing them so much brain damage that they never have a normal life…even a life sentence in prison doesn’t make up for the life they stole, and so many times the abusers get away with it anyway. Unforgivable
I cant even bear to watch the digital example...😢
Sweet baby 😊
JUST WALK AWAY A LITTLE, It's ok to get some peace
This is so sad. I just don’t trust anyone with my kids
In our search for a nanny, we had a woman drop our child on her head! She was obviously fired. But it was such a shock. I will never have a stranger take care of child. Especially in the first 6 months!
I don’t understand how anyone can do this to a baby? They are newborns! They cry to communicate! It’s not something they are doing wrong! Walk away if the you’re tired and the crying is annoying you! This is crazy! If you can’t handle it stay away from babies or don’t have them!!
Do you have kids? If you do, is your baby calm?
I went out side with the kids if they were still having trouble
Why would you say for new men woman aren't to blame here there is footage of a daycare intendent doing it
Sad 😞
Sad that this is titled for new dads....
I didn’t even want to watch the shaking baby video the hospital🏥 it tore my nerves!! 😢
I know that my friend s look into this before I was there care giver even though we were good friends
I want a vasectomy but my girlfriend of 6 years suggested I do not just in case I change my mind. I'm 20 years old but I am curious what others think about it. Should I get it or should I not because of her reasoning (Edit: I’m going to be a dad soon within the next month I didn’t get the vasectomy)
(Second edit my baby girl was born yesterday and it was an amazing experience)
No
you have plenty of time to decide for real if you don’t want kids
Don't do it bro you're too young to make this decision.
20 years old is too young to know if you want a child. I thought I never wanted children at 20 but changed my mind at 26.
Wait. You won’t know if you want kids until your 30s. Use condoms in addition to your gf using the pill to be extra safe. The pill alone is not 100% effective. Only around 98- 99%.
My baby has intense gas pains. He's also teething. It is impossible to sleep at night. I definitely shake my leg fast. Even this is not enough. For example, he loves swinging in a blanket (because he feels empty). Could what I do do any harm? Frankly, I was a little worried when I watched the videos...
i never had kids because i would never trust anyone to babysit my kid and i had to work full time because i live in a very expensive area and my husband didnt make enough money to live on his salary alone.
Just leave the room put it in the crib and go sit down turn on the tv or out side
😢
If I decide to have kids ill trust my mom to take care of them. She loves babies.
why is this video titled..."for New DADS" like what are they trying to insinuate?
Fathers are not second-class parents.
Unfortunately, fathers and boyfriends are most often the ones that cause SBS on the baby out of frustration bc they often times don’t socialize with a baby until they have their own and get frustrated when the baby can’t calm down. Of course, this information should be just for anyone who gets in touch with a baby, not just towards dad :/ a mom can easily get frustrated too
Alot of shaken baby cases are mostly cause by new fathers.
Why it is called a syndrome?
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺💔
There are many ways to calm them down, unless they have colic of course !
When u feel the urge, put your baby in a safe place, close the door text someone for help ..put on the vacuum cleaner or music so you fant hear the baby.. and wait for a little while.. 5 or 10 minutes you will calm down and understand that youre just tired and overreacting.
This is why I don’t want to take care of babies or have anything to do with them. Also I saw a man got life imprisonment without parole for shaking his girlfriends baby boy to death.
You’re basically saying you’re a demon and can’t control yourself from harming a innocent baby once a man twice a baby
I have a rule about babies ever since I saw that video of that man got life imprisonment without parole for shaking his girlfriends baby boy to death. I am not supposed to be near any babies because of babies are extremely fragile and they die so easily.
@@SuperiorAmericanGuy Are you seriously this stupid. You have to violently shake or throw a baby or infant across a room to give it this much head trauma. In order for head trauma to the point of it being fatal to a baby or an infant it has to be severe and violent. You don’t give a baby shaken baby syndrome from lightly bouncing a baby on your leg or lightly rocking the baby. Do your research. But for the safety of babies maybe you shouldn’t be around any babies or toddlers.
That’s literally not true. Babies and kids are incredibly resilient. So long as you don’t beat or shake them, they’ll be alright.
Alright fine I’ll take good care of babies as long as they don’t grow up to become shooters or thugs.
I'm confused. So you're NOT supposed to shake a baby?
Yes
@@RandomVidsforthought So you are? Please be more clear.
@@zjones9876 You shouldn't aggressively shake or shake too hard a baby
These videos are hard to watch. Innocent, healthy lives stolen by an evil jerk. 💔
I like that the video implies women never do it. Sexism.
Kids should be seen AND NOT HEARD!!!!!!
They are BABIES, babies cry there is no excuse to shake or harm a baby. I hope you are not a parent if that's your way of thinking
Babies cry! smh never have children please
I pray you don't have children
Ur a clown
Get rid of IT. Not worth going to jail over if you can't discipline a brat.
You can't discipline a baby
how can a baby that can barely crawl be a brat? this is extremely concerning and you shouldnt be near children
