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 forms of abuse, which can lead to severe consequences, including death and long-term 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.

In addition to recognizing the day, the resolution calls for awareness about the prevention of SBS/AHT, advocating for caregivers to take breaks and utilize safe spaces for infants when needed. The Chief Clerk of the House is tasked with preparing an official copy of the resolution to be sent to the organization Never Shake Minnesota, which is likely involved in advocacy and education efforts related to this critical issue.
