How to Know if your Baby is Choking
Babies, from the age of one to four years are usually prone to chocking. This is because they put different objects in their mouth while crawling. Babies can also choke if anything gets stuck in their throat whether it’s a piece of bread or fruit cereal.
The most common cause of choking is the blockage of the larynx with water or food particles. However, this type of choking usually lasts only a few moments.
Another reason behind choking is shortness of breath which particularly occurs when the baby has a sore throat. Follow some easy techniques to determine if your baby is choking.
