RE: Do you know what to do if your baby or toddler is choking?

in #health7 years ago

Quick thinking and staying calm, not easy as you said @jvanman I remember being around five years old, somehow got hold of a mint imperial, nice round hard sweet.

Started choking and Dad swung me upside down by the ankles and one hard smack to my back the sweet rolled out. It is scary just how quickly something like that happens, to keep your head on your shoulders and do what needs to be done is no easy feat.

Thank goodness for pur parents hey. Sometimes instinct kicks in and it saves the day. I always say that you must fill your mind with knowledge so that those moments of distress come, your mind has something to draw from when instinct kicks in. Thanks for the comment
