Chances are, during the nine months you waited in anticipation and did all that you could to prepare. You and your spouse likely read books, baby-proofed the home, and bought the appropriate clothes, bedding, toys, and food.<\/p>\n<p>New parents are crazy busy during the first few months and years of their baby\u2019s life. There is so much growing up to do, and you don\u2019t want to miss a beat. However, in the midst of all the<br \/>\nmilestones and cuteness, accidents do happen. Let us give you two scenarios and decide which parent you want to strive to be like: the adult in scenario one, or the adult in scenario two.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reGray\">\n<div class=\"scen1\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scenario_1\"><\/span>Scenario 1<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One day everything is going smoothly. You place your baby in a safe space to explore, but, suddenly, you notice that he cannot cry, cough, or make noises. You run over to your child and notice that his skin is reddening, but you freeze and don\u2019t know what to do. Unfortunately, no one is home, and you are running out of precious seconds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"scen2\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scenario_2\"><\/span>Scenario 2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>During mealtime, everyone is chatting with each other as your toddler is eating from her highchair tray. All of a sudden her eyes get big and she begins coughing. You immediately open the baby\u2019s mouth and attempt to clear the airway but to no avail. You waste no time in asking a family member to dial 911 while you begin to administer the proper back blows and chest compressions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"whileNo\">\n<p>While no new parent wants to imagine the horror of his or her infant or small baby choking, it does happen. What can be the difference between life and death for your child is the fact that you acted quickly and efficiently to help your baby when he could not breathe.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why it is vital that you take the time to educate yourself \u2014 through a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplecpr.com\/pediatric-cpr\">Pediatric CPR certification course<\/a> \u2014 on the proper way to handle a small baby when they cannot breathe. While you may know what to do in the same situation with other adults, the signs to look for, performing the Heimlich, and CPR are all different for infants. Their small bodies not only require special care, but they make a choking situation even that much more dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>Unsure of what to do or how to handle a choking infant or small child? Don\u2019t worry! Below we will take you through the steps of the proper way to perform both the Heimlich and CPR on small children, as well as some tips that will help prevent choking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"choking\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choking\"><\/span>Choking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nothing is scarier than seeing your baby choke. However, what\u2019s important to remember in these situations is that fast reactions and swift movements are key. Here is what to do:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grayBox\">\n<div class=\"step1\">\n<div class=\"roudImg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplecpr.com\/online-cpr-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/img2.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1\"><\/span>Step 1<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Assess the situation quickly. If your baby cannot cry or cough, then chances are<br \/>\nsomething is blocking their airway. Open the baby\u2019s mouth and see if you can see the object. Even if you don\u2019t see anything, if their is making either odd noises or no sound at all when opening their mouth, and\/or turning red or blue, their airway is fully blocked.<\/p>\n<p>If your baby is coughing or gagging, that means their airway is only partially blocked, meaning they can still breathe. In these situations, it is best to allow the baby to continue to cough in order to dislodge the object.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the airway is fully blocked, or they cannot seem to cough up the object, ask someone to call 911 as you prepare to administer back blow and chest thrusts. If you happen to be alone with the baby, don\u2019t wait any longer than about two minutes before you call 911.<\/p>\n<p>If you have reason to believe your baby cannot breathe due to a swollen throat, call 911 immediately. This is an indication of an allergic reaction, and the Heimlich or CPR cannot help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"step1\">\n<div class=\"roudImg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplecpr.com\/online-cpr-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/img2.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2\"><\/span>Step 2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now you have to administer back blow and chest thrusts. First, attempt to remove the blockage with back blows. Do this by carefully positioning them face up on one<br \/>\nforearm while you cradle the back of their head with that hand. Place your other hand and forearm on their front, so that you have them securely between your forearms.<\/p>\n<p>Next, turn them face down, while you use your thumb and forefinger to hold their jaw. Place your arm on your thigh in order for the baby\u2019s head to be lower than their chest. Using the heel of your hand, deliver five firm back blows between the baby&#8217;s shoulder blades. While you do this, maintain the support you gave their head and neck by firmly keeping their jaw between your thumb and forefinger.<\/p>\n<p>With the hand that has been delivering the back blows on the back of the baby&#8217;s head, rest your arm along their spine. Carefully turn them over while keeping your other hand and forearm on their front.<\/p>\n<p>Next come the chest thrusts. Continue to hold their jaw while sandwiching them between your forearms. Lower your arm that is supporting their back onto your opposite thigh, still keeping the baby&#8217;s head lower than the rest of their body.<\/p>\n<p>Place two or three fingers in the center of the baby&#8217;s chest. To do a chest thrust, push straight down on the chest about 1 1\/2 inches. Then allow the chest to come back to its normal position. Repeat this until you have completed five chest thrusts. Keep your fingers in contact with the baby&#8217;s breastbone. Note that the chest thrusts should be smooth, rather than jerky.<\/p>\n<p>Continue alternating five back blows and five chest thrusts until the object is forced out or your baby coughs forcefully, cries, or breathes on their own. If they&#8217;re coughing, let them try to cough up the object.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the object is not dislodged and your baby becomes unconscious, you will have to perform modified CPR.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"perFo\">Performing CPR on an Infant<\/div>\n<div class=\"broun\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplecpr.com\/online-cpr-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/img3.png\" alt=\"\" \/>If it comes to performing CPR on your Baby until medical personnel get there, you will need to understand how to properly administer it in order to keep the blood circulating to the baby\u2019s organs to avoid brain damage and death.<\/p>\n<p>Quickly and gently place the child on his back on a firm, flat surface. Tilt his head back with one hand and just slightly lift his chin with the other. Note that you don\u2019t have to tilt a small baby\u2019s head very far to open the airway.ay.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flWd\">\n<p>Check to see if the baby is breathing.<\/p>\n<p>If the baby isn&#8217;t breathing, you have to administer what are called rescue breaths. To do this, cover the baby&#8217;s nose and mouth with your mouth, and gently exhale into his lungs only until you see his chest rise. Make sure you pause between rescue breaths to let the air flow back out.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that a baby&#8217;s lungs are much smaller than ours, so it takes much less than a full breath to fill them. Breathing too hard or too fast can damage their lungs.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you need to administer chest compressions or thrusts again (described above.) Do 30 chest compressions at the rate of 100 per minute. Count out loud: &#8220;One and two, and three and four &#8230;,&#8221; pushing down as you say the number and coming up as you say &#8220;and.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When you complete 30 compressions, give two rescue breaths. Repeat this sequence until help arrives or you see obvious signs of consciousness return.<\/p>\n<p>Even if the baby returns to consciousness and seems fine by the time help arrives, a doctor will need to check him out to make sure that the airway is completely clear and there are no internal injuries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ways\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ways_to_Minimize_Your_Risk\"><\/span>Ways to Minimize Your Risk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While you cannot always prevent choking, nor can your eyes be everywhere, you can make sure that you have done everything in your power to minimize your child\u2019s risk. Here are a few tips that you and your family can follow to make sure that choking doesn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bluSk\">\n<div class=\"list1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thmIc\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplecpr.com\/online-cpr-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/img4.png\" alt=\"\" \/>You should not give children 5 years old or younger small, round, or hard food items. This means items such as gum, hard candy, nuts, grapes, chunks of hot dogs, popcorn, marshmallow, pieces of carrots, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"list2\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thmIc\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplecpr.com\/online-cpr-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/img4.png\" alt=\"\" \/>Cut up your baby\u2019s food into small bites. If you are feeding your child, be sure to hand her pieces of food one by one, and only give another when she has fully chewed and swallowed the piece before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"list1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thmIc\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplecpr.com\/online-cpr-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/img4.png\" alt=\"\" \/>Kids often shovel as much food as they can into their mouths. Instruct them on how to properly finish chewing their mouthful before attempting to eat or drink more. Lead by example.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"list2\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thmIc\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplecpr.com\/online-cpr-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/img4.png\" alt=\"\" \/>Make sure your children play with age-appropriate toys. Small pieces of a game board, marbles, and Lego pieces are bound to end up in a small child\u2019s or toddler\u2019s mouth. Keep all items like these out of reach. If you are unsure of a toy or game, look for the label or instruction for age guidelines. Also, it helps to sign up for product recalls; that way, if a toy has small pieces that are a choking hazard, you are informed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"list1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thmIc\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplecpr.com\/online-cpr-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/img4.png\" alt=\"\" \/>Never leave children unattended while they are eating or playing with puzzles or other toys with small pieces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"list2\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thmIc\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplecpr.com\/online-cpr-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/img4.png\" alt=\"\" \/>Keep magnets, buttons, jewelry, loose change, cords, and strings out of your child\u2019s reach. For adventurous tots, make sure they cannot climb on furniture and access these things. Leaving these types of items left on the edge of tables or counters is just begging for grabby hands to reach for them. Make sure that if you have to place them on an open surface, they are in the middle of the table and nowhere within an arm\u2019s reach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"list1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thmIc\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplecpr.com\/online-cpr-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/img4.png\" alt=\"\" \/>Make sure all chairs, barstools, ladders, and stepstools are out of reach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"list2\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thmIc\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplecpr.com\/online-cpr-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/img4.png\" alt=\"\" \/>Put up safety gates to make sure wandering tots remain in<br \/>\ndesignated or \u201csafe\u201d areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"list1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thmIc\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplecpr.com\/online-cpr-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/img4.png\" alt=\"\" \/>When trying to minimize risks of choking and other dangers, parents often childproof the home, but even these efforts can overlook other hazards. It might help to look at your house from their point of view. If you need to, get down on your hands and knees, and look for any small objects that could prove to be a choking hazard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"takeWay\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Takeaway\"><\/span>The Takeaway<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While we walked you through a step-by-step guide on how to react and what to do when accidents happen and life goes awry, you shouldn\u2019t rely on this as your only guide.
