164th: Parents saved their 10 month-old daughter
Sep 19th 2024
"My husband and I had to use our Dechoker on our 8month old little girl. It was dinner time and my husband had given her a piece of pita bread with avocado on it. He assumed she would bite off a little Chunk (we have used BLW for all our children). She had taken a bigger bite than he had thought and within seconds you could see the fear on her face and she was silent crying he patted her on her back, didn’t work. he flipped her upside down, didn’t work, tried to physically suck it out of her mouth and of course didn’t work. I remembered I bought the Dechoker a few months back and ran to get it out of my car. We could only afford one so I carry it everywhere we go (car included).
After running across the house I ran right to her he held her at an angle but not laying down. I put the mask over her, he held it while I pulled the lever. It took 2 tries and it finally dislodged from her throat. I was so scared, I didn’t even think to get a picture but it was a pretty large chunk. If I hadn’t have gotten this device our little girl would not be here today. I’m so thankful for your company. It saved my babies life and I will be forever grateful for that. " L.S.
