I am a first-time mother and I have a 3-year-old son. I have always been very careful when giving him food. I make sure as much as possible to avoid having a bad time with him and him choking on exaggerated bites of food in his mouth. mouth, especially if it involves meat, even though being alone with him I had never experienced an experience as horrible as that. Of course, as everyone knows, there is always a first time, the story is as follows.

On a normal, ordinary day, while visiting my mother's house, some aunts were also there and I remember that at lunch time, my mother was giving food to her grandson, at that time I was taking a call when I heard far away a scandal, tears and screams asking for help, (help) At no point did I freeze and I didn't allow the shock to block me from taking action, the first thing I saw was poor first aid practice because it turns out that they were trying to remove the piece of meat by inserting their finger into the throat. which you should never, ever try to do because that will only make the person in this case my baby sink deeper and end up drowning completely, I acted immediately, luckily if I had knowledge of the issue, in one case Like this, the first thing you have to do is stay calm and never despair or make that fuss that I encountered because the only thing it will do is traumatize the baby and make the moment more difficult.

Step number one is to stay calm, the next thing is to place the baby in a prone position along the forearm, give him strong and quick blows on the back with the heel of the hand, (in my case it came out on the first try) which left everyone surprised and not only did I save my baby's life but I also shared the learning of how to practice first aid in a case similar to this one.

And you, tell me! Have you had a similar experience? How have you dealt with it? I read you in the comments.
