This is life saving information. But as the dad of a 1 year old, this gave me anxiety just watching and learning. Key info you hope to NEVER have to use.

Instead of watching some stupid prank videos people should watch this video.This video should have millions of views.

My wife saved our daughters life by knowing how to respond when she had a completely blocked airway whilst eating. She had seconds to respond and we both thank god she had received first aid training. If you have kids, or supervise kids, please learn how to do this.

Thank you 🙏 Praying I’ll never need to use it but I will regularly watch this to keep it fresh in my mind x

I’m here because my 2 year old choked a couple weeks ago with no sound/no air getting through. Was so traumatizing but I threw him over my shoulder and started pounding his back and his throat cleared thank you Jesus! She’s so right about staying around your child while they eat, because he was making no sound. If I was in the other room, i wouldn’t have heard and it may have ended badly.

I scrolled past this and had a feeling I should watch and refresh myself with the info. Thank you for sharing. This is life saving info for literally anyone. You could see a baby choking in a restaurant and use this knowledge. But most importantly all parents should learn these skills.

My daughter was 18mth and choked on a chip. As a preschool teacher of 11yrs, I thank God I had that training over the yrs. You always wonder if you’ll handle that situation well or panic.. I must say, there wasn’t a seconds hesitation. Grabbed her, threw her over my thigh, face towards the floor and began thrusts on her back. She threw up everywhere but I couldn’t have cared less. She’s 3 1/2 now. I was so glad to hear you say choking can be silent. I’ve told my husband that so much, I would leave the room and ask him to watch her, he would respond “I’m right here”, and that was always my response, “they don’t always make a sound when they choke, Watch Her”.

Omg it’s very useful. My heartbeat was rising while watching this.. may god bless all kids🙏🏻

Years ago I saw my dad use this technique on my nephew that had a coin in his throat. Playing with it in his mouth and accidentally swallowed it. Luckily my pops knew exactly what to do and I asked him how did you know that was the correct thing to do. He said I learned it in a first aid class. (It stayed with me for years.) Yesterday I had to use it on my 4 yr old son. As he had a hot dog sliced as she showed in video not to have em sliced and I used this technique. Fortunately my mother realized what was happening before my son could panick and when he was about to panick I was in position and had him over my knee and hitting his back. Luckily its came out on the first few hits. In hindsight the what ifs is my head really terrify me, but I thank God for the outcome. The whole family gonna watch this video and we're going to practice because you never know.

My 2 year old son almost chocked to death on a lollipop that someone gave him and I did this and it came out this happened yesterday I’m soo shaken up about it still I’m having bad anxiety checked

My baby choked about a week after I watched this; and boy was I glad I had just watched this video. You probably saved her life! This is such clear and wonderful instruction and it worked. Thank you!

I have bad panic attacks when ever my daughter is choking I act and help her straight away but I always end up in tears fearful for her life it's so scary

Who else don't live with a baby or children, yet decided to watch this in case we might need it when we encounter a situation wherein a child is choking? Very helpful.

You are extremely well spoken and a pleasure to learn from. Thank you for the lesson!

Thank you for this video! My 4 year old choke on a M&M yesterday and thank God I didn’t have to do chest compressions on him but it scared the living crap out of me and now I’m here watching this video. Just made me realize you never know what might happen gotta learn things like this so we can be prepared for the worst.

Love that she goes into details about the things to watch out for and how to cut foods, as a Daycare provider I always recommend parents learn infant and toddler CPR. And not only that but develop safety habits...buckling kids into seats and not just sitting there because a table attachment is in front of them, if you have an infant always put soft things or Ideally mats, on the floor with them if they're learning to balance and sitting up. When they're learning to walk, walk behind them just incase they fall backwards or forwards, always do quick checks when they fall or even at night to make sure older children's wounds are healing properly and that they aren't picking at them....I want my kids to be safe at home and in daycare all the time.

This video saved my toddler's life. I'm so grateful I watched through it and knew what to do when she was choking. Thank you so much for this video ❤

I neither have children nor plan to have them in life. But still watched it to save someone else's child in emergency if that time comes. You explained well. Thank you.

Man, I really hope I never have to use these

I saw a child almost choke to death on a sausage skin. I’m very surprised she didn’t advise removing that skin. It’s deadly!

I 18 months old baby suffered chocking recently and one of such videos I have that already watched helped me to save my baby.

*Avoid Circular/Spherical shapes when cutting food portions. Cut into quarters or random shapes, avoid shapes that can easily block child's airway. ((Even leaves can block a child's airway)). *Encourage strong coughing when air blockage is suspected, if cough is strong continue, shortness of breath/inability to cough, proceed to: *Position A) Lay baby on stomach in your lap, rear end higher than the head, give stern pats to center of back between shoulder blades with palm of hand, sharp concise strikes, if this doesn't work continue to; *Lay baby on back in your lap, and give firm presses to the hard breast bone area of child, using palm of hand faced forward. Continue to rotate between this position and Position A until airway becomes unobstructed. If this routine does not work, call 911 immediately. *These are my own Notes, feel free to use. I memorize information better when I read it.*

I don't even have a child but I feel like when a video like this pops up it's worth watching and educating yourself, you never know.

My baby choked on a cheerio and I had to call an ambulance a few months ago….it was horrifying and now I’m so much more cautious. I never had anything even close to that happen to my older two children. You can never let your guard down.

I have needed to do this on my son. It saved my son life. I just like to point out that their a good chance the child will throw up. The dummies I practice on never did that

My brother saved someone’s toddler on the train choking like two days after learning this.

I’ve had this training as a daycare employee but just keep rewatching videos like this because it’s so important to be reminded every few months or after a year since we so often forget what we know in emergency situations. It’s best not to assume we “already know everything”.

I just had to do this to save my 9 months old life. So glad I watched these types of videos. Thankfully i got it out with the back thrusts. Scariest moment of my life. Never want to see her struggle again. Thanks for this life saving information

I am 35 weeks pregnant and this is my first baby. I have taken CPR in the past but I always feel like I’m not prepared enough so thank you for making such a clear video. I am with the other parent in the comment section I hope I never have to use this.

Thank you so much for this video. To the prevention, I'd add: when it comes to grapes, another danger is the skin it can cover the airways same as the leaf. that's why you should always peel fruits until your child has all his teeth to deal with it. Children can choke with objects which are big as the tip of their little finger.

And this is only one of the many reasons that we Need, Respect, & Value those who have chosen (Nursing) as their profession. 💙

I was feeding my daughter (6 months) some puréed sweet potatoes and there was a small piece that wasn’t blended well. I didn’t realize it until she tried to swallow it and she stopped breathing and the look on her face instantly put me into panic mode. I went to grab her out of her chair and thank God she was able to cough it out but this experience has left me traumatized. I will be learning first aid classes so that I can keep her safe.

Best thing for mother’s to do is to run a simulation on a doll while looking at their baby. This will help to get an accurate feel for how hard the blows have to be. The biggest thing to fear at a time like this is your inability to want to provide adequate blows to your child’s back because of your maternal instincts of not wanting to hurt the child.

This video just popped up and with caring for my 11 month old grandson I thought it would be good to watch! You never know what could happen! I’ll be doing everything in my power to prevent from having to use this technique but THANK YOU so much for this helpful information!!!

tonight my 3 years old daughter choked on a coin…. It was so scared as you can imagine, but I used these life saver first aid procedures and thanks god it works!!! I involuntarily shaking after the coin came out!!! Thanks for sharing!!

My daughter and Son-In-Law live with me and my wife. They have a 6, 3,2 and 1yr old as well. About 3 months ago the 2yr old- who is like MY Shadow- began to choke on a piece of meat my daughter had cut up for her. I had told her the pieces were too large but she told me I was being a Hovering Papa. They noticed she was having troubles but didn’t know what to do. I was coming down the stairs as I heard the sounds of fear turn into terror and I ran down the rest of the way to see my little grand daughter struggling to breathe and see her arms start to flail. I ran to her and, Thank GOD, was able to help her dislodge a considerably good size piece of meat and see it fly out of her mouth. It was the scariest moment of my 56 years but was so greatful that I (1) knew what to do and (2) Employ the method properly. My grand daughter and I are closer than ever now and she’s truly a Blessing to have in our lives.

I remember getting my CPR certification when I was in college taking my early childhood education classes. I am so glad I took the class. I always tell my kids to sit down and eat. Even if they are eating a snack. Grateful for the share! Happy Holidays! 🌎💚🌟✨

Lifesaving info. I wish I had seen this before having children. Thankfully my mom was there when my baby was choking and saved him!!

This is so informative thank you! Children aren’t stupid but are curious and accidents happen.

Awesome! No piece of information is wasteful. The basics and important stuff! Love it

Thanks a million for your efforts and advices, as a young mother I have learned a lot from you!! Keep it up 👍

As a new mom due in 6 weeks, your videos are a godsend!! Thank you!!

I pray that no one literally no one ever has to do this. But this video is really helpful. I usually leave my 3 years old with an apple to bite and eat. Going forward I will always be around her when she is eating.

Can’t scroll past without sharing. These kinds of things should be well known for everyone

Thank you so much for this video! It saved my baby’s life. I started with baby led weaning and was very afraid to do so. After watching this video i had the courage to start and everything went on fine. You always here mums saying that they did it and their babies never chocked. Good for them but mine did. It was stuck in his throat and wouldn’t go out. I immediately turned him and tap on the back (like mentioned in the video) and everything came out. It actually happened twice. Since then, I gave my baby purée. But I want to thank you very much for this video! It saved my baby’s life. God bless you and the work of your hands!

This gave me heart palpitations and a panic attack.

This video needs to be advertised by youtube. So important if you have small children.

I remember when I was 4-5 I almost chocked to death on a hotdog. For some reason as a child I would hold food in my mouth for HOURS! I was blue couldn’t breath my mama ran everywhere to get me help. I have a daughter now and I’m learning everything I need to be prepared

thank you so much for the session hope all of you safe

Very informative, thank you. Very glad my toddlers have always coughed well, but it's a relief to know what to do now.

Thanks so much for this video!! I have had a few scary moments with my kids for sure. A few choking scares and other things and even though when the incidents were fresh I was just too scared to even talk too much about the different dangers there are that could potencially hurt my kids..now after gaining more awareness and insight into these different danger topics I feel empowered, confident and very happy to know that im at least informed enough to pottencially save someone's life and THAT is priceless.

Thank you! This is something every parent should know and review every so often! 👍

My sister, who's a physio, used the above five firm back blows on her 2.5 year old toddler choking on a carrot which was very effective: the key is to remain calm, and carry out the procedure as shown. But as pointed out in the video on prevention, we should have been more careful in allowing the toddler to playfully take cooked, circular carrot slices from our plates!

Thank you! I refresh myself via your videos every so often and pray I am prepared if I ever need to perform these on my children.

Thank you I have now realised the mistakes I’ve made in those situations and also how to help my child in the most effective away thank you

I’m a new grandmother, thank you this was so helpful😀

I remember I was in the first grade. I was eating cocoa puffs in the cafeteria. I guess I ate too fast. The coco puff got longed in my throat. I started to choke I couldn't breathe. Out of nowhere one of the lunch ladies came out. Grabbed me pressed my chest against a garbage can. I still was choking she had to slap my back hard. The coco puff somehow flew out of my nose. She saved my life. ❤ Moral of the story perhaps coco puffs are not that safe for a 6 year old.

Great, easy to follow instructions. Thank you

I watched this video because a 5 years old neighbor's daughter got choked and died in front of her parents and they could do nothing to save her. Ty for this information.

I hope more parents and caregivers learn CPR. Safety is top priority and too many parents have NO CLUE what to do or how to prevent choking to begin with.

I watch this video now and then to keep the technique fresh in my mind. Good stuff 👍🏾

I have a traumatic memory of choking on a peppermint at my grandma’s when I was 6 & my mom having to heimlech me. Thank you, I will carry this knowledge forward.

Thank you for making this video! It is amazing how unprepared we are as parents...

just the refresher video was looking for and also watched so ov the other videos. all great stuff!!! keep up the good work!!

I know this is not to do with choking, but I read a heartbreaking story by a couple who shared how their child died while they were visiting friends. Their toddler was wandering in the child proof house and drowned in the toilet. When a toddler leans over a toilet and falls in, their are arms are trapped. Shook me!! Never had a bathroom door open afterwards in any house I was in. So kind of them to share this info in their grief. Apparently, it is not uncommon. Can also happen with a pail of water.

Thank you. Its a very scary situation. Especially the panic and rushing moments for the parent. So I strongly recommend calmness, but not passive in the procedure itself. Its a race against the time. I know the feeling as I chocked on the food as an adult, scared the crap out of people around me 😁

I know I am only ten but this video Is something I can share with my mum

And the most important thing, don't forget to get 911 on the phone before you start.

Great advice thank you.. but terrifying! I have a 17 year old , a 10 year old and I’m pregnant now. 😨 both of my children have choked before when they were babies and I almost lost my mind! Thankfully they both happened to get it up.. 🙏🏻

This video is extremly instructive. Impressive instructor!

Who can dislike such helpful video??

Its the way you graciously explain these things.

Needed this. I panic Everytime my baby choke really bad.

Thank you for sharing! it's really important for someone like me who's taking care of children.

It's really nice that someone is doing it.

Thank you for sharing this vital information. Really, like the demonstrations and explanations, very clear and calmly executed.

Every parent should know this before they have a child. I'm glad my kids know this from their health classes in school. You never know when you will save a Life. I encourage CPR too. Of the 162 people that dislike this video they should be ashamed.

Very helpful video for a Aunt babysitting her nephew! Thanks 👍🏾

Thank you for the video. First time father here. Very worried about everything now. This helped! Thank you very much!

Just listening to this lady is so soothing. Her voice could put me to sleep.

Excellent teacher and doctor

Found your video informative and very well presented. Thank you

Life saving info. I have a baby brother. I'm glad I watched this. Thankyou VERY MUCH.

Choking is terrifying. I choked on partially chewed beef 10 years ago, and thankfully I was eating with a colleague with whom I had taken a 1st aid course. As soon as I realized what was going on I got up, looked at him and mimicked the Heimlich manœuvrer on myself and he understood immediately, performed the manœuvre and cleared my airway. I really don't recommend the experience to anyone. Ever since those very scary few seconds I take my time chewing and I everything I eat, and I always cut my kid's food to a manageable size and make sure he doesn't put too much in his mouth. This knowledge should be mandatory for everyone and certainly to everyone working with small children in nurseries and schools.

She’s like don’t wack the baby then proceeds to mortal kombat his spine lmao

very useful information! Thank you! God bless!

So scary. It's so important to learn this as a new parent but not many do realized the need to learn it. My 2yo choked in a restaurant, I used the adult way and he's fine. Then I realized I knew nothing for babies and toddlers

Hi Precious,i say this video is very important with very helpful pertinent information that can be lifesaving for babies,and all children,keep more of these kind of videos coming for many people to pay attention to,and learn from that’s very important for them,thank you,love Denny😘🙏😇🦋🧩🍇

As an AHA CPR instructor and NREMT, these techniques are taught a little differently that how I learned and teach them but are close enough. One thing the video failed to discuss was what to do if the attempt to dislodge the item fails and the child goes unresponsive. You'll learn that if you take an AHA CPR course. I have dealt with two choking people in my day... one was my son when he was about 2 or 3 and the other was my mom. Strange that as an EMT I have only dealt with family. Anyway I was untrained when it was my son but I knew to flip him over and give him backblows. Thankfully, the toy popped out. My mom was on the phone with 911 and they emptied the fire house when they heard it was a child. The engine responded first with a full crew, then the ambulance and I think a chief's car also responded. With my mom, I was trained at the time and we were out to lunch and she started choking on some pizza. I did the Heimlich on her in the middle of the restaurant and got her to expel the food. I told her that since I saved her life, we were even for her giving me life :) Both instances were extremely mentally stressful after the fact so you need to be prepared for that. It's a different ballgame when it is someone you love versus a stranger but the key is being trained and prepare. As I mentioned above, I would highly encourage everyone to take an AHA Heartsaver course with the AED and first aid for adults, children and infants. CPR is one of the best things that you can learn and really can make the difference between life and death for a loved one or even a stranger at the grocery store. I became an EMT not to do for a career but initially to be trained in what to do should an emergency happen. I wanted to be able to act instead of standing idly by without a clue when someone was injured or in distress. I decided to take it to the next level and volunteer with my local fire department doing 911 response as a firefighter/EMT. I'm also considering becoming a paramedic to take my training to the next level. Writing software during the day pays the bills but helping people in need feeds the soul. Get trained... you won't regret it.

The thing I love best here, is she starts with the prevention part. Chop grapes longways so they cannot lodge in the throat and watch what is lying around the house because young children will often put things in their mouth. EAT AT A TABLE, not running around. And avoid popcorn and nuts for younger children and babies. Chop sausages and carrots into batons as opposed to the round shape when you slice through. Do not leave your child alone when he/she is eating. Eating socially at a table is not only better for your child, it is safer.

It's really good video. So useful! I remember when I was like 5-6 years old I swallowed small bearing ball( it was metallic, I played with toys and any tiny stuff was my favourite thing.) I didn't felt like I was choking, but anyway my mum did everything to help me. She always was attentive, so that time it helped too. May no one will have to get such experience and may all children will be safe🤗❤️

Thank you for this clear, concise and informative explanation. Please create more of these videos. Many thanks again.

A toddler just died in a neighboring town a few days ago because she choked on a snack we call 'jellyace' with the wrapper on and her family didn't know how to do this so they kept on poking the snack until it was too late 😢

can you please post a vid about 'when u are alone and chocking cause one time i am almost choked aloneso i need to treat my self

Your message is so clear! Thank you very much!!

25 years ago my son was choking on a dime. I didn't even know how to do CPR on baby, but I did exactly how it show on the video, it was very scary moment for me. I thank God, I was able to save my son life. you can think, you pick up every small object on the floor, some how babies still find something to put in their mouth.

This was amazing, thank you. I did almost miss the part at the end where you said to call for an ambo if the first 5 back blows dont work. Maybe that should be at 6:23 instead of 7:20??

Please remove the adds from this video. 30 seconds of commercials could be the difference between life or death

A lot of thanks Doc. For performing CPR. I knew now how to do. Thank you

Thankyou for this important information! I''ve only ever encountered a choking child once and ended up doing back blows with an open palm because I hadn't seen this video, thankfully it was still effective but now I know the proper way to do it :)
