🚨 What to Do if a Baby is Choking 🚨
Choking can happen in the blink of an eye, and knowing what to do can save a life.
If a child or infant is choking:
1️⃣ Encourage them to cough if they can breathe or make sounds.
2️⃣ Call 911 immediately if they cannot breathe, speak, or are turning blue.
3️⃣ Give 5 back blows, give 5 abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) for children over 1 year old, or 5 chest thrusts.
4️⃣ For infants under 1 year, use 5 back blows + 5 chest thrusts.
5️⃣ Continue until the object is expelled or professional help arrives.
Remember: Stay calm, act quickly, and always seek medical attention after a choking incident.
