3 Year Old Chokes on PB&J and Saved with Dechoker®

Sep 19th 2024

"My 3 year old was choking (like could not breathe) on a pb&j. He had stuffed too much in his mouth (as usual, even though I warn him not to) and it got stuck in his throat. I heard the horrific sound of him struggling to breathe. I saw the look of sheer horror in his eyes. I knew this wasn’t a normal getting choked up on something. This was the big one that we are all terrified of. I ran and grabbed our dechoker from the diaper bag. (We keep it there so we always know where it is and it travels with us). I had him spit out what he could then put it up to his mouth and pulled back hard and quick. It sucked it right out in one try, and I immediately heard him gasp and take his first clear breath. We both started bawling. The dechoker saved my baby’s life today. It all happened so quick. I could’ve lost him just as quick. There’s no way I could’ve gotten that thick peanut butter sludge out of his throat. Thank you!!! Thank you to my husband for purchasing it “just in case”.
