There is no doubt that children are the object of careful care in the eyes of their parents. However, many people because of their first parents, lack of experience, it is easy because of their negligence and "take for granted", but hurt the child!
Recently, an Australian mother posted a picture on her Facebook page warning parents: don't do it for your children!
One, a thriller picture.
Recently, an Australian mother named Angela Henderson, also a pediatrician, posted a picture on her Facebook page, "Finlee and Me," warning that children should not be fed fruit that has not been cut open.

"pay attention, parents!" wrote Angela. Do you know what this X-ray is? it's a grape! Today, a grape was placed on the child's trachea. The lovely child had to endure general anesthesia so that the grapes could be removed. He was lucky because his trachea was still open, or he would die painfully. So please pay attention to the fact that not all children can chew the food you give him. Please be careful. If you are not sure if your children can eat them, cut them open, such as grapes, tomatoes, and so on. "

Angela said the boy's mother, after discovering that the child was stuck, first used the older generation's "dirt method" to let the child drink water, but saw the baby's little face turned red and stopped immediately, and took the child to the hospital.
After learning that her young son had to undergo anaesthesia and surgery, the mother sobbed: "I knew I should have cut the grapes."
In fact, the mother had the habit of cutting grapes to feed her children, but didn't want to do so because of a "lazy" failure to cut grapes.
2. The snack has become a tragedy.
After Angela tweeted, it received 27,000 shares and more than 3000 comments within a short period of time. Many comments have linked Angela's warning to another tragedy that took place in the UK some time ago:
A British mother, alias XGemx, wrote on the website that three years ago, as a result of her negligence, she bought Canbury's mini eggs chocolate for her 5-year-old daughter before Easter, and the child choked and left her forever after her rescue failed.
She wrote at the end of the article: "Please watch your child."
XGemx pointed out that his son had a similar experience, but fortunately he was rescued, "that was seven years ago, but it felt like yesterday." Seeing this article makes me realize how close it was to tragedy. "
Although Canbury's food bags say "children under the age of four," many point out that each child learns to chew and swallow at a different rate and that parents are more concerned about feeding their children larger foods.
In fact, because parents do not take good care of their children, resulting in children eating easily choking food, eventually causing the tragedy of death, has occurred in recent years.
In 2017, Ayyan, a five-year-old boy in the United States, died after choking while his mother was not paying attention to "stealing" several grapes on the shelf while he was shopping with his mother.

In December 2016, a boy surnamed Chen, who lives in Jiangxia District of Hubei City, was choked after eating a longan, and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment without success. He closed his eyes forever.
The tragedies that take place around the world have given us a wake-up call as well as heartache for these young lives: so, whether you are a child's parent or an adult who likes to tease your child, Please be careful: don't feed the children any more!
3, how can I avoid it?
First of all, parents or adults who feed their babies must make sure they have adequate chewing power; if not, try to feed them better swallowing food to avoid tragedy.
Here is a reminder, if you want to cut grapes or other large fruit to the child, please refer to the cut below, do not let the diameter of the fruit too thick, stuck to the baby's fragile trachea;

If the child is choking inadvertently, you can take the Hayward first aid method: for children under the age of three, parents should immediately hold the child up, holding one hand on both sides of the child's cheekbones, his arm against the child's front chest, and the other hand holding the child's back neck. Face down and lie down on the parent's lap.
At this point, parents can slap the child 1-5 times on the back and see if the child spits out foreign matter.
If the foreign body has not yet come out, you can turn the child over, face the parents, close your fingers to the lower part of the child's chest and press it 1 / 5 times (pictured below): finally, if you are not sure you can give the child first aid, call the emergency call immediately!
Never think about watering or giving children something else to do first aid! Because it's not only useless, it's gonna hurt the kids!
Easter is coming soon, colorful egg chocolate is about to become the "new favorite" of Australian children, but parents in feeding their children with egg chocolate, be careful not to let the child choke!
