A programme will be held in Gisborne and Te Puia Springs next week to teach people who are working with parents of infants. The Shaken Baby Prevention Programme gives a unique opportunity to provide effective, simple and consistent education about infant crying and the harm caused by shaking a baby.
On average, 20 babies are admitted to hospital around New Zealand every year with such injuries. There is evidence that many more babies in the community may be shaken than are admitted with a recognised head injury.
The programme will be presented by:
