CHOCKING - BABY AGED UP TO ONE YEAR

May be there are mothers outside there never know how to deal with chocking... since they never have such experience. Here, i want to share an important steps what to do when your baby is chocking... adapted from British Red Cross 2010.

A baby can easily choke on food or small objects in the mouth; you need to act quickly to clear the obstruction.

Are they able to breathe, cry or cough? If so, this is a mild case and the obstruction will probably clear on its own. Keep an eye on the baby and make sure their condition doesn't deteriorate.
If not, this is a severe case of choking. 
You should:

1. Lay the baby face down along your forearm, with their head low.

2. Give up to 5 back blows (as shown) between the shoulder blades with the heel of your hand. Check their mouth quickly after each one and remove any obvious obstruction. If the obstruction is still present:
woman with hand on child's back
3. Turn the baby onto their back and give up to 5 chest thrusts, with 2 fingers in the middle of the chest pushing inwards and upwards. Check the mouth quickly after each one. 


If the obstruction does not clear after three cycles of back blows and chest thrusts, go to the nearest hospital/clinic for future medical advice or call for an ambulance.
