My baby was choking
Okay so we had just gotten home from grocery shopping. We had left Lillith(my daughter) with his mom at our house because we have a small truck that can only hold 2 people and a jeep for the family but the family vehicle is broke down right now. So she was babysitting Lillith at the house and his mil decided to stay the night because she's got bad night blindness. Anyways, we were sitting here watching some show and I was feeding Lillith her bottle. She had pushed it away so I was trying to burp her. Well she suddenly started like trying to gasp for air. I was like, "She's choking!" and I set her up so that she was upright and was patting her back trying to get her to catch air. She wouldn't catch it and I started to panic because I honestly didn't know what to do. DH took her away from me and put her on her stomach in his arms and started patting her back. I was reaching for the phone to call 911 when she finally started breathing again. I started crying because I was freaking out and panicking because if I had been here by myself with her I don't know what I would have done. I don't know what to do. I would have called 911 right away had I been by myself but would that had been enough? Would they have gotten here in time? I'm so freaked out right now. I don't want to go to sleep but I know I need to. But what if she starts choking again while I'm asleep and I don't know? I'm so worried and freaked out. I feel like a terrible mother.

She has a pedi visit for a check up Monday so I will ask her to show me CPR. I mean surely that is part of her job to teach me this if I request.
Good luck momma! I know how terrifying that feels.
