Choking baby....
Here's a helpful hint..after making two choking baby calls...
If your child has something STUCK in his/her throat (not mouth) please do not stick your fingers in there. You will push it further back and possibly completely shut off its' airway. Number 1 cause of cardiac arrest in babies is respiratory failure. If you shut off your childs airway it WILL go into cardiac arrest.

My little sister used to always put things in her mouth. She got a penny stuck one day and my Dad jerked her up by her ankles and dangled her over the sink until it dislodged.
