Baby First Aid - would you know what to do?

If your baby was choking, would you know what to do? I know we don't really want to think about it, but it is important to know what to do in emergency situations when you may not have much time.

The British Red Cross have first aid advice specifically for parents of babies and young children. Even if you are a qualified first aider, sometimes babies and young children require a different response (for example, the Heimlich manoeuvre is not suitable for babies or young children). We feel really lucky that they will be offering such vital hints and tips to visitors to our Blooming Babies show, and we are delighted that they will be speaking twice, to ensure that as many parents as possible get to hear their expert advice of dealing with emergencies.
