Steps to take if your baby is choking • Things can happen very quickly in emergencies, so we’ve kept our descriptions clear and to the point. • Step 1: Verify that your baby is actually choking • Your baby may be coughing or gagging. This can sound and look scary, but if they’re making noise and able to take breaths, they’re likely not choking. • Choking is when a baby is unable to cry or cough. They also won’t be able to make any noise or breathe because their airway is completely obstructed. • Step 2: Call 911 • Ideally, you can have a friend or family member call 911 or local emergency services while you take care of your baby. • Step 3: Place your baby face down on your forearm • Use your thigh for support. With the heel of your free hand, deliver five blows to the area between their shoulder blades. These blows should be both quick and strong to be effective. • This action creates vibrations and pressure in your baby’s airway that will hopefully force the object out. • Step 4: Turn baby over onto their back • Rest your baby on your thigh, keeping their head lower than their chest. With your index and middle fingers, find your baby’s breastbone (between and slightly below the nipples). Press down five times with enough pressure to press the chest down about one-third. • This action helps to push air from the lungs into the airway to potentially force the object out. • Step 5: Repeat • If the object still hasn’t dislodged, return to back blows following the same instructions above. Then repeat the chest thrusts. Again, tell the 911 operator immediately if your baby loses consciousness. • For CPR and First Aid classes in Jacksonville, visit https://FLtraining.com. • For CPR and BLS Instructor classes in Jacksonville, visit https://FLtraining We are worth the drive or flight.
