Keep Your Baby Safe: Learn Baby CPR

We all love freebies and here is a freebie all new parents shouldn't miss. Online Baby CPR is designed to teach parents the skills they need to help their baby or child in an emergency. CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The course is fully online and you will learn the following:

  • Choking and drowning prevention
  • Child CPR
  • Infant CPR
  • How to use an automated external defibrillator (AED)
  • How to help a choking child
  • How to help a choking infant

Quoted below are some excerpts from one of SafeKids' brochures --- Choking Strangulation Suffocation.
Suffocation, choking, aspiration & strangulation are the leading causes of unintentional injury-related death among infants under age 1.

The majority of childhood choking, strangulation and suffocation occur at home.

Sixty percent of infant suffocation occurs in the sleeping environment

Infants can suffocate when:
a. Their faces become wedged or buried in a mattress or soft cushion.
b. When someone in the same bed rolls over onto them.
c. Their mouths or noses are covered by or pressed against a plastic bag.

Let us keep our babies safe. We encourage everyone to Learn Baby CPR now.
