A member asked:

12 week old stopped breathing for a few seconds so panicked i shook his belly with one hand while he was laying down. could this have caused sbs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: SBS is triggered by the movement of the brain back & forth within the skull during violent shaking. This would not. Infants often pause for a few seconds during their quiet time. Anything more than 10 secs is abnormal but a few is not. If this is a real change in babies pattern go in for an evaluation.
