Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Releases Video

Forceful shaking can permanently disable or kill a child. The injury associated with baby shaking - Shaken Baby Syndrome - is a preventable tragedy. Sadly, some parents and caregivers react to their frustration with a baby’s crying by shaking the object of their frustration - the baby. This need not happen.

The Kiwanis Club of Ottawa has produced a video, Never shake a baby! What parents and caregivers need to know.

The production of this video in both English and French was undertaken by the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa and its partners,
