The House resolution designates April 11, 2025, as Shaken Baby Prevention Day in Minnesota, highlighting the serious issue of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) and Abusive Head Trauma (AHT). Each year, numerous infants in the state suffer from these preventable conditions, which can lead to severe consequences, including death and lifelong neurological impairments. The resolution emphasizes the importance of public education for caregivers, encouraging them to understand that it is normal for babies to cry and to seek healthy coping strategies when feeling overwhelmed.

The resolution calls for awareness and prevention measures, advocating for caregivers to take breaks and utilize safe spaces for crying infants. It underscores that SBS/AHT is entirely preventable and aims to promote a culture of understanding and support among caregivers. The resolution also directs the Chief Clerk of the House to prepare and transmit an authenticated copy to the organization Never Shake Minnesota, furthering the initiative to raise awareness and prevent these tragic incidents.
