Christi | Shaken Baby Syndrome

Trigger Warning: Shaken Baby Syndrome   Some sources estimate that a parent makes 35,000 decisions per day for our child. Some of these are small, like what socks to wear. Others, more important, like who will care for them while we are away. We hope we make these decisions we make, both big and small, add up in ways that create a safe and healthy environment for our babies. But what if…What happens when the person we have trusted our baby does the un-thinkable? Today we sit down with Christi. She bravely shares her story, of how her son was harmed by the very person she had trusted to care for him. She shares his medical journey, and the trauma her family has endured.     “Everyone knows not to do that to a baby.” - Christi   Here’s what you don’t want to miss: Introducing Christi Shaken Baby syndrome The Incident The babysitter What if Decisions Mom gut Hindsight What gives Christi hope   Medical motherhood is challenging whether you are “born” into it, or through a tragic accident.
