When children are very young, they all want to eat a lot of things, and some children may choke when they wolf down their food. If parents fail to take timely measures, their children may be at risk. So when choosing food for children, it's best to choose when it's easy to digest. Do you know what to do if a baby choked?
What should I do if my baby is choked
1. If the choking is not severe, drink water and rush down.
If the child is just choking and not stuck in their throat, you can give them some water to help them suffocate food.
2. If you choke badly, stand up and shoot you in the back.
If the child gets stuck all at once, quickly lift the child up and hit their back upside down, taking pictures of the choking food.
How to prevent babies from choking
1、 Grapes and lychees: Foods with seeds should be seeded first
Grapes, lychees, olives and other foods with seeds must be seeded before feeding to babies, otherwise the seeds may easily get stuck in the esophagus. And although adults can eat these foods in one bite, they are still too big for babies, so before feeding babies, they must be cut into small pieces and fed bite by bite.
2、 Melon seeds, peanuts, nuts: Do not feed hard foods
Foods like melon seeds, peanuts, and nuts are too hard to bite and can easily cause choking. The baby's gums are still developing and their bite is not yet fully developed, so it is impossible to crush them. Therefore, it is important to avoid eating hard foods.
3、 Fish: Be careful of fish bones
Babies cannot spit out fish bones on their own, so be especially careful when feeding them fish to ensure that the bones are removed completely before feeding them. If parents are afraid of fish bones, they can also choose cod, a fish with fewer bones and easier to pick, or choose to feed their babies with fish belly.
In the current market, there are many foods that children cannot eat. If a child accidentally eats them, they may choke. At this time, parents should immediately pick up the child, have the child face down, and gently pat their buttocks so that the child can vomit. If it is serious, they need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment. Never delay the condition.
