Why YOU need to know CPR/ Heimlich

Seriously, every parent should take a CPR class and this is why:
We were eating dinner and Morgan started choking on her food. This is somewhat normal as she shoves it all in at once but this time it went too far. She started turning purple and trying to gag it up. I immediatly picked her up from her high chair, turned her over and started doing the blows on her back. Out popped a large chunk of tortilla. Her color started to perk up and she went back to shovling food in her mouth. I can't imagine what would have happened if I did not know how to do that. I could be posting that she died instead of that she's sitting on the floor playing with her brother.

Re: Why YOU need to know CPR/ Heimlich
Thank god she's all right. I know I think of that every time DS eats chunkier foods. I would like to think I know what to do, but it would probably be a good idea to do a refresher.
I have to take at least a refresher course every year for my job but that's the first time I've ever had to use it on an infant. Scary stuff.
