Handle with care

A guide to keeping your baby safe

Rough handling of babies can cause serious injuries. Handle with care: a guide to keeping your baby safe (PDF, 3.31MB) explains the dangers and gives advice on safe ways of holding and caring for a baby. 

This simple leaflet explains why parents should never shake their babies and suggests ways of coping when the crying doesn’t stop.

A valuable resource for services and professionals working with new parents or in antenatal care.
