I can't imagine anyone shaking their baby though. Terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-watch-the-shaken-baby-video-before-checking-out-of-the-hospitalbirthing-center#post-54418 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:00:27 +0000 heffalump 54418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to watch a video on general newborn care, not shaking babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-watch-the-shaken-baby-video-before-checking-out-of-the-hospitalbirthing-center#post-54411 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 09:37:44 +0000 Rock n Roll 54411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have to watch it in Nevada.

It definitely made an impression on me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-watch-the-shaken-baby-video-before-checking-out-of-the-hospitalbirthing-center#post-54322 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:48:04 +0000 cyndistar3 54322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Oh wow! That is depressing but I hear it happens quite a bit. I gave birth at a midwifery in Idaho. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-watch-the-shaken-baby-video-before-checking-out-of-the-hospitalbirthing-center#post-54321 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:44:16 +0000 mrbee 54321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: It is filled with firsthand stories from parents whose spouses shook their baby, and their kids are now brain damaged I believe. It is heartbreakingly sad.</p> <p>Where did you give birth? I thought everyone had to see this video... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-watch-the-shaken-baby-video-before-checking-out-of-the-hospitalbirthing-center#post-54320 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:38:13 +0000 cyndistar3 54320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never heaed of it, is it just a video about people shaking babies? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-watch-the-shaken-baby-video-before-checking-out-of-the-hospitalbirthing-center#post-54317 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:34:36 +0000 mrbee 54317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We watched it, and it was extremely depressing. I still think about how sad it was, from time to time.</p> <p>Our hospital wasn't so hardcore about making sure we watched it. They just wanted us to sign something saying that we had seen it. I wanted to take a quiz or something, to prove that I wouldn't shake our baby. Although I would hope that most people would pass that quiz!!</p> <p>Did you watch the shaken baby video before checking out of the hospital/birthing center? What did you think? </p>
