#390: What if my baby chokes on food?
In this episode, certified CPR Instructor Brandon Doerksen from Thrive Training Institute tells us when and how to administer back blows for a baby under 12 months of age who is choking on food. Knowing CPR can save your baby’s life and be sure to take an infant refresher CPR course before your baby starts solid food.

Right now you can get Brandon’s online CPR course for free when you register for our Choking Prevention and Response Course here: https://courses.thrivetraininginstitute.com/bundles/blw-made-easy-podcast-bundle

Stop unsafe seating situations with our posture checklist proven to protect your child’s airway.

Avoid dangerous household objects and modify choking risk foods to facilitate safe swallowing for infants, toddlers, and school-age children.

Troubleshoot feeding difficulties that can impact safe swallowing at mealtimes, such as pocketing, overstuffing and excessive gagging.
