#132: Before your baby starts solid foods, there is one thing I hope every parent does: take an infant CPR course.

While choking is rare, it is a very real risk. Knowing how to reduce choking risk…and what to do if your baby does choke, can give you the confidence to safely start solid foods.

In this episode, I’m joined by Brandon Doersken from Thrive Training Institute to talk about why infant CPR is so important before starting solid foods, common choking hazards to avoid, and why every parent and caregiver should know the basics of infant CPR.

If you’re getting ready to start solid foods, this episode will help you feel more prepared, more confident, and ready for this exciting milestone.

Listen to this episode to learn:

1. Why infant CPR is an important skill to refresh before your baby starts solid foods

2. How to reduce choking risk during meals and recognize common choking hazards around your home

3. Who else should know infant CPR if they will be feeding or caring for your baby
