Oh my. That's such an AWFUL feeling. I've had it happen with both my kids. So freaking scary. I'm glad she's okay. Bless her heart....

How scary!!!

[bananapancakes]

Ugh, I'm sorry that happened. That sounds so scary but good for you for staying calm and doing what you needed to do to help your baby. Hugs to you and her!

OMG. 

DD did this the other day. Monday it was half a grape. She coughed and it flew out.

OMG poor baby! How old is she? I live in fear of this too.

[janiejones]

I'm so glad you got it out. This post scares me.

so scary. Glad she's ok.

I was a nanny for a little guy once who had some serious issues with gagging and choking on even pureed food. Damn near gave me a heart attack every freaking day.

Been there, I'm so sorry (((hugs))). One of the scariest things, I shook for a while afterwards, and cried too. Glad she's okay, hope you are too.

CPR is so important.

I had my son at 19. He was a few months old when I was out to eat with friends and a little boy (maybe 2 or 3yrs) started choking. His M was across the restaurant and her friend sitting with him was completely useless. "He's choking. He's choking" as she just stared at him. I jumped up without thinking ran over and did some sort of half ass Heimlich. I got the food out and he seemed to be ok but I was TRAUMATIZED. I boo-hoo'd like a damn baby. New Mom pregnancy hormones didn't help.

It wasn't until after that I found out that you shouldn't do Heimlich on someone that small. Thankfully he seemed ok and I didn't like crack a rib or something.

I was so paranoid after the fact though so I feel for you. Glad your little one is ok.

Omg how scary. Thank goodness she's ok. This is such a huge fear of mine.

Eek, so scary. Take a deep breath and try to relax.

I choked on a grape when I was 2 or 3. My mom grabbed me, and it startled me enough that the grape flew out. I still vaguely remember it. I always wondered if that is why I have a such a fear of choking. Like, I have a legitimate phobia that has impacted my life.

I choked on a hot dog at the age of 5. It was like an out of body experience seeing my Mom hold me from behind over the sink and 25 years later I remember it vividly.

I don't let my kids eat grapes. Ever since I heard a story about a 6 year old who choked on a grape and they could do nothing about it. I'm so freaked out about choking and my youngest seems to gag on everything. Gives me a panic attack every time he eats.

Scary, scary! Good job, mama!

So scary! My guy choked a few times but nothing that scary. I had to cut grapes into 4 or 5 pieces and then only put one piece on his tray at a time for the longest time. Hang in there!

good job. I remember being super worried about this too. I also have a vivid childhood memory of choking on a piece of ice and my family had no idea what was going on, but after a bit it melted and moved and then I was like OMG family I was CHOKING TO DEATH!

[annyong]

Oh my gosh, how scary! I'm so glad she's okay. Good job, mama!

You did great, hunny.

I choked on a piece of spare rib when I was 4(?). I remember choking, and I remember trying to get my mom's attention. But she was talking to someone and gave me the adults-are-talking-finger without looking at me. I pounded on the table and got her to turn around. But then I don't have any memory of her actually helping me (obviously she did, lol). I remember my grandpa asking me later if I wanted any more spare ribs.
