    Exclamation Zuri Turned Blue Choking on Water from my Water Bottle!!!!

    I have been pretty good at keeping small items out of Zuri's mouth. Last night, she wanted some of my water which was in a water bottle. I squirted one small amt in her mouth and she choked! At first I smacked her back, then her lips turned blue. She couldn't breathe! Her dad grabbed her started pumping her stomach from the back. (Ok, I just laughed because she is 8 months old and he was treating her like an adult by pumping her stomach from the back...wasn't funny then though)

    Anyway, I grabbed her back from him and turned her flat and she was able to get air. She didn't even cry, she just got her color back and resumed a few fake coughs. Ironically, she started trying to grab the water bottle again! I don't think so little one. Just a warning, I never knew a baby could choke so badly on water alone. Make sure it's given via bottle only. I wasn't smart allowing her to drink from my water bottle. Though it was so little, I think I almost drowned her. Very Scary!

    How scary. Poor little thing... guess she's just not used to the water coming into her mouth without having to suck

    I thought it was a huge reaction to water as well. I've never seen it before! She was actually blue...her lips and face. I had only seen somethng like that on tv.

    I think that is why all the medicine says to drop small amounts with syringe into the cheek.

    Thats so scary!!! im glad she is ok!!

    And although a baby's airway cannot get blocked by water, they can aspirate the liquid and essentially choke, or more accuratley drown, from just a teeny bit of liquid. So always be cautious when that happens!! I actually researched this cause Jayson was choking all the time when I first introduced a sippy cup, but I thought "oh well it cant choke him..." and my sister made me go look it up!!
