He was in SS think he was Wiremu, and he was in a McDs ad, when hes in the drive through and I dunno , realises its still breakfast menu or something.
Ha, he was also one of my patients , I gave him a filling (well, my boss did)
I have walked away , put Ty down in his cot and just shut his door, shut my door , counted to 100 , and gone back in , sometimes you need to have a few seconds to focus , the sound of a babies cry is hard to ignore, because it is meant to be , its their survival tool really .

I think its a great Ad!
Isabella has been SUCH an unsettled baby, she cry's all the time and it does my damn head in, and a few times I have HAD to let her cry because I felt like shaking her. Now I would NEVER shake her, but that feeling of anger washes over you and you really do feel like shaking them.
So what i do is, count to ten and take deeps breaths, then go back to her, letting her cry is not going to kill her, but shaking her can/will!
I think its a good message, its OK to let a baby cry if it means you have time to get your head together and calm down so you are better equip mentally to deal with it.

I also think its a good ad.
We were talking about it at work. And they used to have those adverts on the TV all the time. Then there has been this big gap, and a whole generation has missed out on hearing this message. I think its important for people to realise its ok to walk away. If it only helps one person then it was worth it (Thats my opinion anyway)

I think it's a great ad. It raises awareness about how you have to keep yourself and your baby safe when you are sleep-deprived and frustrated.
There were occasions that I felt like shaking Chloe (she was a colicky/refluxy baby) but I never did because I remembered those ads from when I was young, "never shake a baby"... the instinct of wanting to shake her wasn't one of violence either, it was purely that I wanted to stop her crying (not by hurting her, but you know how jiggling/doing something different etc. calms the baby, it was something along those lines but driven by frustration).
It's not "bad people" that are at risk of shaking a baby, just poorly informed ones at the height of frustration and sleep deprivation and at their wits end.
I, for one, am thankful for all those "never shake a baby" ads that were on tv when I was young.
