I can’t tell you enough the importance of CPR and how to clear the airway of a chocking infant. Parents please practice this and be proficient in it. It just might help you save a life one day. I thank God everyday that Ryan I took this class before Addison was born and that he is alive today because of our quick response.
First Aid for a Choking Conscious Infant (<1 years old)
Step 1
Determine if the infant can cry or cough. If not, proceed to next step.
Step 2
Give 5 back blows.
Step 3
Give 5 chest thrusts.
Step 4
Repeat steps 2 & 3 above until effective or the infant becomes unconscious. If the infant becomes unresponsive, perform CPR- if you see an object in the throat or mouth, remove it.
