10 things to avoid with your baby

May 7, 2018
Relief of choking

If your baby ever chokes on food, you should not perform the Heimlich manoeuvre for adults (which involves applying pressure with the thumbs under the ribs) to relieve him. If it ever happens, you should rather put your baby face down on your forearm while holding his head with your fingers on each side of his mouth. You must then apply quick and firm pressure 5 times on his back. If you do not see the object in his mouth and if he is still choking, press the middle of his chest 5 times with your fingers. Repeat until the foreign object is expelled. If your child is unconscious, call 911 immediately.
