When you see your baby chokes, It is a sign of the baby wants to remove something from the oral cavity / respiratory / throat. The baby feels there is something that makes the airways obstructed. Do not panic, because if you panic, then the baby will also in panic. Stay alert while calming your baby. When the baby managed to vomit, then all will be fine. But if not, then you need to do first aid.
Aid measures :
- Use one of your hands, place the baby with the face downward and head lower than body. Prop baby’s head by holding the jaw with your hand.
- Give five times pounding on the back. Use the heel of your hand and pounding on the back.
- When the things do not go out, lay the baby on your palms, then put your middle finger and your ring finger in the middle of baby’s chest (just below the imaginary line between baby’s nipples) and do quick downward motion.
- Perform steps 1-3 until effective.
These are the tips which the infant suffered light choking. But if things get worse, I highly recommend to take the baby to the hospital.
