Oh, and when DS1 was just starting peanut butter, I gave him too much on a pbj sandwich and it blocked most of his airway. Thank god my h is Mr. Relaxed and calmly worked with ds to cough it up. It took awhile, though. I am also nuts when it comes to PB.
How scary. Henry choked one when I was alone with him. He just had too much food in his mouth. I started sweeping his mouth and he threw up eveeeerywheere, but that's better than the alternative.
That is so scary! A child I babysat frequently in HS choked once, I almost had a heart attack I swear, but thankfully had taken first aid classes so knew what to do. Doing it in the moment when you're panicking is really scary though.
