Gagging or Choking?
How to spot the difference between gagging and choking.
Later this week I will be posting an in depth video about how to help a baby who is choking. This will include first aid techniques, things to avoid doing, when to seek medical help and some tips on how to avoid choking.

Would you agree with the saying "loud and red go ahead, silent and blue...they need you"? Xx
@Sarah I do, well sort off. Sometimes when a baby is choking their face will go red initially so I wouldn’t encourage you to wait to see if they go blue. Also sometimes when a baby is choking you may hear some sounds a baby tries but is unable to inhale so not always quite silent. The rhyme is great to help people remember how gagging and choking differ but I don’t tend to use it as it could cause some confusion x
