Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Sometimes, when a baby cries inconsolably, parents or caregivers may lose control and end up shaking him, without knowing the risks that the gesture represents. This shaking action can cause shaken baby syndrome that causes irreversible damage to the child. This behavior, even for a few seconds, is very dangerous. The shaken baby syndrome is the set of brain injuries produced when the child is shaken sharply, and can produce severe sequelae or even death, due to the fragile anatomy of the baby. In the United States, it is the leading cause of death among babies under 1 year of age when abused.
