Your assertion is simply wrong.

SBS is not just a parent trying to shush a baby - it requires a very significant amount of force in a healthy infant. This is not a "oh shush let me hug you" thing, this requires repeatedly seriously jostling the baby hard enough to pinch it's airway off or bounce it's brain off the inside of it's skull. Usually repeatedly.

I’m not saying it’s “let me hug you” I’m saying it’s out of desperation. And one of the biggest ways to avoid it is EDUCATION for parents who do not know better. Because most cases of this are not people intentionally murdering children but people who are at their wits end and desperately need help, the bare minimum of which is a mental note that this particular form of desperate exhaustion is dangerous to the child.

And as a general rule, KILLING people because they made a mistake is really fucking dumb.
