emergency techniques

I know many parents take infant CPR and resuscitation classes regardless of feeding method. Did you all do it?

We didn't with our oldest, but I'm looking into it this time for certain.

DH and I both took an infant CPR class while I was pregnant with our second child. I felt much more comfortable after having that information and couldn't believe I hadn't done it before.

We both did infant CPR which included choking so we felt more confident at least. We also asked our nanny to get CPR certified before starting. Bless the stars we have never had to deal with a choking situation so far.

I'm certified through work, otherwise I would have. DH took a first aid/CPR course though.

Also certified through work, but I think all parents should take a class. I had to do back blows on DS once when he choked. Scary, but so glad I was prepared.

We did. The only time DH has needed to save Ros from choking, it wasn't from a food incident. (Board game piece while I was out of town around 8 months old... just what you want to hear the first time you leave your baby overnight!)

I took one (it was free and offered during the day so DH couldn't go) and have taught DH what I learned.

We took one when I was pregnant. My parents also took an infant CPR class around that same time.

H and I took one when I was pregnant about a month before LO was born. We didn't get certified though.
