Well heres the thing

Didn’t any of you know that without his input, then none of us would know
how to deal with a choking child. You all must know how much we needed
him to tell us :roll: :roll: :roll: :wink: :-

Thing is cas, is that it is known to most who take a first aid test that children over a certain age should not be subjected to the abdominal thrust. Back slaps are most appropriate.

But whatever the issue here i have no room to talk as i dont know the age of the child.

But id like to raise awareness try back slaps first – then abdominal if the childs body is mature enough.

i’m a first aider
the point of first aid is to administer it successfully
back slaps are for minor choking
my boy was purple in the face and panicking i knew instantly it wasnt a minor block
what i did worked
the post has proved that most of you think you know
but are not really sure
pats and cas will eventually choke on their own vomit

yawns.
