The dangers associated with shaking a young baby will be graphically highlighted in next week's episode of 成人论坛 Wales drama Belonging (Wednesday 17 May 2006, 成人论坛 ONE Wales).

In the award-winning show, teenagers Cai (played by David Smith from Brynsadler) and Stacey (played by Stephanie Parker from Treforest) are struggling to cope with their crying newborn daughter.

When sleep-deprived Stacey shakes the baby in frustration she suddenly stops breathing.

NSPCC Cymru Wales has welcomed Belonging's step to dramatise 'shaken baby syndrome'.

Simon Jones, NSPCC Cymru Wales Policy Advisor, says there is help available for new parents feeling under pressure.

"Parenting is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world, but it is also very hard work," he says.

"All parents can come under stress from time to time, especially new parents who can feel particularly pressurised and isolated, with the perception that they are the only ones who are struggling to cope.

"It is vital that all parents are encouraged and able to access support when they need it, which may just be somebody to listen to the concerns or issues that they are facing.

"NSPCC Cymru/Wales' Helpline provides support and advice to parents and carers on a range of issues.

"We need to ensure that parents who are feeling isolated are aware of the support that they can receive via helplines and within their communities."

The NSPCC Cymru/Wales Helpline is a free bilingual service available to parents wanting advice on parenting or just someone to talk to.

The helpline - 0808 100 2524 - is open Monday to Friday from 10.00am to 6.00pm. Calls are free.

Outside these hours calls are automatically transferred to a 24-hour English language-only helpline.
