Shaking kills!
I would like to draw attention to an extremely important topic: #ShakeKills. That sounds a bit drastic, but I think it's absolutely justified because it's an incredibly important topic - one that can have drastic consequences. It's about shaking trauma in babies.
Why is this so important? Because every year in Germany around 100 to 200 babies die or are severely disabled as a result of shaking trauma. Every parent knows: There is nothing cuter than a sleeping baby. And there is nothing that gets on your nerves more than a baby who cries a lot or for a long time.
I can also say from my own experience that when my children were small and screamed, I experienced moments of anger time and again. This is also completely normal! The important thing is not to give in to the anger, to have control mechanisms, help and support - some way to calm down in such situations and to be able to respond to the child, who needs nothing more than parental encouragement and calm.
And precisely on these topics: How do I deal with my stress, how and where do I get help - you can find all this on the campaign website. I think it's really well done, so I don't need to say any more about it. If you have a baby, please take a look at this page. Prevention can help!
