When I was pregnant I went to a first aid course at St John Ambulance and it was very helpful when my baby chocked and I knew what to do. I really recommend for all parents.

I know they say not to turn kids upside down but thats what I did with all 3 of mine when they were choking. Id turn them upside down and bang on their backs….it always worked for me. Perhaps I was just lucky.

This video is a memorable way of remembering what to do for choking.
St Johns and Queensland Ambulance Service both run fantastic first aid courses and refresher courses.

All parents should read/discuss this as it’s scary when it happens.

My daughter was around 11months old when she was chocking on some bread and its scary but I stood her up over my arm and patted on back. She then threw up on floor. So greatful
It\’s hard not to panic. It\’s great to see this and refresh your memory.

Can I add in that whilst someone is doing this manoeuvre that someone else should already be on the phone to the ambulance if there’s 2 people present. Every second counts!

ya know i took a first aid course through work and then did a refresher course when i got pregnant. it is so helpful to get the knowledge and to have an idea of what to do. i think that all mothers and fathers, carers, should have to take a first aid course. instead of panic at the situation, you can help
