Infant Cpr

I was just curious how many mommies on
this board know infant cpr. I think all
mommies should take a class, because it's
so important to know what to do if your
child chokes or stops breathing. I want to
get certified soon.
Thoughts? Opinions? Experiences?

i've never taken any classes.. i've read
up a lot on it, but a class would be
nice.
i just watch my kids well enough to know
they arent sticking anything in their
mouths to choke on in the first place. My
kids are never out of my sight, im too
over-protective lol.

I've never taken an actual course, but
have been watched over by a Dr. and been
given the ".o.k" in my technique.
It's a scary thing that I hope I never
have to do!
When I was .oni's age, my .aunt gave me a
cantelope ball and it got lodged in my
throat. My mom was slamming my back and it
didn't work, so my aunt flipped my upside
down and hit my back going towards my
head. It come *flying* out!
I will never give .oni anything that's
larger or more round than her thumb.

emergency it would all come back to me,
but i don't know.

I need to take a course...just to be
"certified"...
Staying calm in the situation is key. ANd
not many people can keep their cool if
their child is turning blue.
God, what a horrible image.

i'm normally very cool and collected but
i'm sure i'd be freaking out in an
emergency.
not that she's always home, but i take
comfort in knowing my downstairs neighbor
is a pediatric nurse and i can just run
down there if i need her.

The day after .Kaylee & I came home
from the hospital 2 nurses came here to
the house to do just a little run through
as to how to do infant cpr. All they
pretty much did was explain what to do
& they gave me a paper that walks
through the steps with pictures &
everything. I keep that paper on her
dresser at all times.. I learned it in
high school too & I was certified in
adult & infant cpr at one point in
time too but.. Yeah.. It'd be great to
take a class just in case I ever needed to
do it.

When I was in high school, and babysat a
lot I was certified in both adult and
infant .c.p.r. But that's been awhile, so
I definately need to be refreshed. Good
topic btw.

I'm not a mommy, but I know infant and
adult .c.p.r. I'm red cross certified in
first aid, cpr, heimlich maneuver, and
babysitting.
i was babysitting a 4yo once who started
choking on a hot dog her parents gave her
before they even left. her mom freaked out
(understandably) and i did the heimlich
and thank god she's okay. her parents
decided not to go out after all, but i got
paid what i would have gotten for sitting
because i kept my cool.
i would .H.A.T.E for something major to
happen where i'd really need all of my
certs, but at least i'm prepared.

heads for a spilt second and bam! it's
very possible even with your eyes
constantly wathcing them.

I have to take CPR for my job. It expires
every 2 years. I have kept it up for 18
years!!! By the graces of .God I have
never had to use it. It is one of those
things you never forget, like riding a
bike.
We were at a chinese buffet last week and
a little toddler shoved a bunch of chicken
into her mouth and started to choke. I
was ready!!!
