can throwing a baby in the air also have the same harmful effect on baby's brain as shaking the baby?

Victims of circumstance owe it to fate. Victims of choice owe it to themselves.
Ask yourself, what if I dropped my child? Falls from over 3-4' can cause injury.
Never, ever do this before a child has good head control.

Dear god yes!!!
Why do people want to throw a baby in the air at any age,its not worth the risk to the child,,accidents happen and babies heads and neck are so soft and fragile to do this to them is just too risky.
There are much better ways to amuse a baby.
For God's sake, why would you want to throw your baby in the air? Is this a new kind of entertainment? Come on now, please let's stay serious... Your baby is not a doll or pet or anything. Treat him/her like a human, OK?

Yes, it could have a harmful effect on the baby's brain. You also risk the baby hitting a shelf, ceiling fan, lamp etc. If you miss catching the baby, this could lead to cuts, bruises, scrapes, broken bones or worse, death.
