Shaken baby syndrome
My baby is 9 month 9 days old and someone playing with her, baby was sitting on a sofa without any support. The guy playing with her hold her legs and moves ahead and behind in a play. As a result her back and head moves back and forth..baby was laughing. This goes for 10 seconds...this happens 12 hours earlier...than baby has eaten and slept...now she is awake...can this result in SHAKEN BABY SYNDROME?

Unlikely…
Though such play should be avoided,totally.
If child is sleeping and feeding well…unlikely that anything serious happened due to the play.
