I hate Biter Biscuits!
superaunt

Sabrina choked on one today. I'm actually still quite
upset about it. I gave her one after she had some fruit and I turned my
back to wash some bottles and I hear this gagging sound, turn around,
and her face was all red, her mouth open like she was coughing, but
nothing would come out.
SHE'S CHOKING!!! I screamed at the top of my lungs to DH in the other room.
I lunged toward the high chair and yanked her out (THANK GOD I DIDNT HAVE HER FASTENED IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and started pounding on her back.
DH came in and I gave her to him and again, hysterically, told him she was choking on a effing biter biscuit (she was making NO sounds despite my banging on her back).
He pounded on her back until she puked up everything.
She was/is FINE. Seriously. Acted like nothing happened after she puked. DH took her in the other room and just kind snuggled with her but she just wanted to play.
I stayed in the kitchen and effing cried. Hard.
I honestly don't think about bad stuff happening to her much out of the normal bruised knee here and there... so when this happened, I just kind of lost it. I mean, I just can't fathom losing her.

Re: I hate Biter Biscuits!
How scary!! (((HUGS)))
I'm so glad Sabrina is OK. It's hard as parents to remember we have to watch them like a hawk. I've turned away from Aaron with Cheerios only to have him gag (not choke, because he was coughing) and spit them up, so I know how quickly something like that can happen.
I remember a friend saying to me (about her now 8 year old) that she couldn't turn her back on him for a second... it's so true.
And I had to look up "biter biscuits" because I had no idea what they were. While any baby can choke, I think these teething biscuits are meant for older babies (the Gerber site says 10+ months). I still haven't given anything like this to Aaron?though he's had Mum Mums and they dissolve like Puffs do.

Oh my gosh. I am so sorry you had that happen. It must have been so scary. Hope today is a better day. Hugs.
