Kobi is turning 1 year old
Kobi is turning 1 year old this March 24. He is quite talker now on his age . He has learned also to imitate words and actions from his older siblings. He loves to smile and giggle at this time. When he smile, his 4 front teeth really showed and that makes him cute . I also teach him to say simple words like “ daddy “ and “ mommy”, “ate and “ kuya”. He gained weight at this time coz he is eager to eat more solid foods like rice, meat & a little vegetables. When he is full, he tried to ignore the food and that’s the sign that he is not eager to eat anymore. Well, I don’t force him to avoid choking.
Here are some tips for you to assess your baby when is experienced with choking.
- Assess your baby’s condition. If the child can cough with enough force to dislodge the blockage, encourage the infant to try to cough out the object.
- If the blockage persists, you will have to administer back blows and chest thrusts
- Gently turn the infant on to its stomach, keeping the head lower than the stomach.
- Apply five short, quick back blows with the heel of your hand to just below and between the shoulder blades.
- Now, roll the baby face up and give five chest thrusts using two fingers to press down firmly.
Hope these simple tips can be helpful to you in assisting with your baby.Don’t panic, keep cool and relax.
