Parents are very concerned about the diet and health of their babies. In daily life, parents will adopt the correct feeding method, and the feeding environment is also very important. It should be chosen in a quiet environment. If feeding in a noisy environment, it is easy for the baby to choke. So, what should be done if the baby choked while eating?
What should I do if my baby choked on food
The baby choked while eating, and the first thing parents need to do is to remain calm. They can gently pat the baby's back, stand behind the baby, wrap their arms around the baby's waist, hold a hollow fist in one hand, and gently place their thumb on the midline of the child's abdomen, about two horizontal fingers above the navel. The other hand grabs the fist and quickly squeezes it inward and upward to impact the child's abdomen, about once every second, until the foreign object is expelled from the throat. The most important thing in the future is to prevent such accidents from happening. It is best for parents to let their babies eat less hard foods such as jelly, peanuts, melon seeds, etc.
What are the hazards of choking a baby
Parents should always prevent their babies from choking, as choking on food can cause great harm to the baby. If the baby eats too quickly, it can easily cause choking, choking, and even lead to airway obstruction and suffocation, which can cause serious consequences. If the baby suffocates for a longer time, the danger becomes greater. Even if rescue is successful, it may damage the baby's brain. Therefore, it is necessary to immediately send the baby to the hospital for rescue.
When a baby is eating, parents should watch carefully to prevent them from choking. If a baby is choking, they must be rescued immediately and taken to a local hospital for treatment as soon as possible. If a baby is choking, parents should gently pat their back to let them spit out the food, which will be safe.
