Infant CPR and how to help a choking infant class

mrsyimster

i strongly felt like this warrants its own discussion. We took infant CPR and how to help a choking infant class at the hositpal last Sunday. It was a 2 hour class and we got a lot of hands on experience. 

It is very different from adult CPR. 

I highly highly recommend taking a similar class!!!

We took this when I was pregnant with my first. They also went over Heimlich and CPR for pregnant women which was also very different than on a non pregnant adult! I'd second this reco.

I agree! My paramedic husband is gonna give me the low down on infant CPR soon. It is nice to have someone in the know, ya know? haha

We took it with my first LO and I honestly had NO IDEA how different it was. I am still thankful we took the class and will more than likely take it again with these kiddos being 3 1/2 years apart.

We're going to take a class in it... I just wish Tricare covered some or all of the classes!

We are taking this class next month- it's one of 4 classes that our hospital recommends taking before the baby is born (we are also taking a breastfeeding class, child care class and an all day childbirth workshop).
