Can a mother who smokes Meth with unborn baby are there injurys of defects of shaken baby sydromone?

I think you're a little confused. A baby born to a mother who did Meth in pregnancy is a drug-baby. Shaken baby syndrome happens when someone physically shakes an innocent baby and it's brain actually is injured. Answer A baby born to a mother who smoked meth can have many defects. In fact the brain of the baby can be affected. However, the brain of the baby is not bruised and bleeding, it is usually a developemental defect of some sort. A baby that suffers from shaken baby syndrome often has a brain injury. The brain of this baby gets bruised and battered from hitting the inside of the skull. Sometimes the brain swells and bleeds causing further injury to the brain. Some one who is medically trained should be able to tell the difference between problems caused by meth and the problems caused by shaken baby syndrome
