Shaken baby syndrome refers to a type of brain injury that happens when a baby or a toddler is shaken violently. Shaking can cause bleeding in the brain (subdural hemorrhages) or bleeding in the retinas (retinal hemorrhages). Additional injury happens when the shaken baby is thrown down onto a surface, resulting in shaken impact syndrome. When a child is shaken, the brain bounces back and forth against the sides of the skull. Infantsâ heads are very large and heavy in proportion to the rest of their bodies.

1 Take naps in the afternoon. 2  The best time for a nap is usually midafternoon, around 2 or 3 p.m. 3  This is the time of day when you might experience post-lunch sleepiness or a lower level of alertness. 4  In addition, naps taken during this time are less likely to interfere with nighttime sleep.
