Just a Suggestion (infant Cpr) Posted: 05-04-06 06:22am
I know some of you gals are having your
m&ms soon but I thought I would make a
suggestion. If you can and are not
working try to see if you guys can get
your first aid course+cpr for infants I
know it sounds abit farfetched but ill let
you know why.
They say to put baby on back when sleeping
and say that they wont choke is a bunch of
caca cause both mine did and cam did last
night and trust when you know what you are
doing you dont panic as much!!!
I know I sound like some messed up person
but I know what its like to be on the
other side and not know how to help your
kid.

That's a good idea jess, I was actually
thinking about that because I am so scared
of what can happen to my little m&m.
Plus my husband had a scary incident once
before and even though I stayed calm and
managed to get help for him I wished at
the time that I knew a little bit more
about emergency first aid so I would at
least know if there was anything that I
could do to help him or make him more
comfortable. As it was since I didn't
know if I could do anything, I didn't. I
don't want to feel helpless like that if
something were to happen to the m&m.
I saw a special on tv yesterday where a
couple's baby died and they could have
saved her life if they had known how to do
infant cpr.
Your hubby's in the medical profession
right? He's trained to do it? Or were
you alone with cam when it happened? I'm
sorry something that scary happened to
you, but i'm glad that cam is okay.
:lol:

I'd like to. Unfortunately, it will
probably have to wait until after he's
born. I barely have time to do anything
right now. My bf does know baby cpr and
such, though.

Tigres I was alone a few times but I had
done the course when I was 18 so it
helped, its just so doing it scary when it
happens and they sit there and say oh your
kid will never choke while sleeping on
their back yeah bloody right!

yeah, I know about the back thing. It
doesn't really make too much common sense
to me. I would think it would be the
same as a drunk person (only trying to say
babies really have no control and can't
roll over/move well enough). They always
tell you never to leave a drunk person on
their back bcuz of the risk of
choking/suffocation from saliva/vomit. I
don't know. I guess i'm just weird about
things that seem counterintuitive even
when the medical profession swears that
they're right...
