TechnicolorTraveller+FollowA Scary Moment: What I Learned From My Baby’s Choking IncidentTrigger Warning: Infant Choking Last week, I experienced every parent’s nightmare—my 9-month-old started choking on a tiny piece of banana. My heart stopped as I watched her struggle, but thankfully, I remembered the infant choking first aid steps I’d learned in a parenting class. Within seconds, she was breathing again, but the fear lingered long after. This experience reminded me how important it is to be prepared for emergencies, even during everyday moments like snack time. Now, I always keep a close eye on her and make sure her food is cut into safe, small pieces. Have you ever faced a similar scare? How did you handle it?

Kathleen Lucas+FollowShocking Rise in Infant Sleep DeathsDid you know sleep-related infant deaths are on the rise? The CDC says nearly 3,500 babies die this way each year, and most are preventable. Experts say the safest way for babies to sleep is Alone, on their Back, and in a Crib (the ABCs of sleep). No pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals in the crib! Share your room, not your bed, and dress your baby in light sleepwear. Even things like letting your baby nap in a car seat can be risky. Let’s keep our little ones safe! #SafeSleep #ParentingTips #InfantSafety #SIDSawareness #Health10Share
