A member asked:
My stepmom was rocking my 8 month old baby in her car seat kind of vigorously. baby was laughing. it worries me.could that cause shaken baby syndrome?

She should be fine: but you are right to be careful with a baby. It does not take too much to hurt a baby's brain but it would be obvious. Given that she was laughing and I assume she is fine now.....she will be OK.
