Swaying baby back and forth while crying

2025-01-26 10:35:36
My parents are slowly swaying 2 months baby back and forth in sitting position when he cries. They are doing it to make him stop crying. I have read about shaken baby syndrome and it worries me a lot when i see them swaying like that. Please let me know if swaying gently is ok.

Swing gently is OK, but do not shake the baby which makes his head shake back-and-forth
