certify in CPR/Choking.  you didn’t hear it here first but just to remind you again cardio pulmonary resuscitation and choking techniques, previously known as the heimlich manoeuvre save lives.   a day and 40-60 bucks is all it takes to learn it.  a couple of months ago i was in a restaurant and a baby started to choke and turn an unmistakable purple colour.  the choking baby manoeuvre worked.
here’s what i did:

• turn baby onto front while supporting baby’s body with arm and holding baby’s jaw with open hand

• tilt baby head down at 45 degree angle

• administer back thrusts straight down onto baby’s back until there’s crying.

learn cpr, you never know when you’re going to need it.
