Your Questions About Signs Of Shaken Baby Syndrome

How is it possible for signs of Shaken Baby Syndrome to show up years later?

How is this merely possible? I thought if a child were shaken- no matter how much force was used, that SBS would show up relatively quick? As in a few days, or immediately?

How is possible to have an injury to the brain with no outer signs of trauma? How common is it for something such as SBS to be inflicted, but show no signs until later?

Shaken Baby Syndrome?

I brought my 51/2 month old baby to a B-day party today. One of my “friends” picked up my son and started to roughly play with him. She twisted him side to side roughly and repeatedly. Then she started shaking him up and down, bouncing his feet off the sofa. She held nothing back…she was at it full force, doing it as fast as she could. I stopped her immediately. It lasted less than 10 seconds. Then she walked off saying that my husband and I were “too careful” with our son. Our son is sleeping peacefully at home now. There appears to be nothing wrong. Should I take him to the ER. Will he get Shaken Baby Syndrome? What are the signs I should look for?
For the one that said I “exaggerated,” my baby was literally treated like a cocktail shaker. There is no exaggeration. It appeared to be done out of malice and wasn’t your normal play. My son went to bed a bit earlier than usual and didn’t wake up for his feed. I woke him just now and fed him. His sucking reflexes seem to be fine and so is his appetite.

Can picking up a 22 month old to quick cause Shaken Baby Syndrome?

We were in the Toy store for over an hour, trying relentlessly to get our Daughter out of it…So, My husband finally forefully grabbed her and slung her on his hip…I am just scared this might have caused damage or something…I know it sounds silly, but I just worry alot. If godforbid it had caused damage, would the signs be immediately?

I know this is a silly ? but please, moms- about Shaken Baby Syndrome?

I know its not impossible for SBS signs to show up later if they had it, but if they really truly had it would signs show up immediately? I am always checking for my daughter to show signs cause i am so overly paranoid and terrified of sbs, and its making my life a living hell. I dont even like my husband to play with our daughter, or better yet anyone.,.Its awful to think this way.

Car accident at less than 30mph with a 3 month old infant… could shaken baby syndrome occur?

Some research on child learning disabilities for a college class got me to thinking about shaken baby syndrome.

When my daughter was 3 months old we were rear ended. I was sitting a a dead stop, and some 18 year old was not paying attention and went right into the back of us. My daughter was nestled in her car seat as she should have been, facing the rear. The hit was hard enough that I my head almost hit the steering wheel and then the head rest. The police estimated he hit me at less than 30 mph. The airbags did not deploy.

I can not believe I had not thought of this before, but could my daughter have experienced shaken baby syndrome due to this accident?

What are the mild signs of SBS?

If not at risk for SBS, should I be worried about any other effects this car accident could have had on her, and I would not know until later in the school years?

Thanks.
I need to clarify:

This happened months ago, my daughter is 10 months old… and seems fine! I was just thinking in terms of anything that could have happened that I could not see physically.
When the impact happened, she was sleeping, and didn’t even wake up until her older sisters (who were sleeping) started crying from waking on impact. I was not hit dead on in the back, he swerved, and hit more like my left back corner.
there was no hospital visit, and the police listed us all as having no injuries in the police report. We were ok… I guess I’m now having second thoughts about the impact and how incredibly fragile a 3 month old’s brain is. I feel like a crappy mother.
