Handle with care: a guide to keeping your child safe
Rough handling of babies can cause serious injuries. Handle with care: a guide to keeping your baby safe 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.
It is also a valuable resource for services and professionals working with new parents or in antenatal care.
