worried

I was holding my 1 month old by the head and hip when he suddenly let out a loud fart while pooping. As it was sudden I got a shocked and jumped. Baby was in my hand (1 palm supported head and neck and another in hip) and I think I shook when I jumped. Baby was shocked and so was I. Now I am scared, will it cause any harm to baby such as shaken baby syndrome?? Baby seems fine now but I am worried whether that momentary shake due to shock will cause any harm.
