It so happens that most parents enter into confused mode when faced with certain emergencies in the home. You can't keep up with the activities of your kids, especially the young ones so it is important to be able to harm yourselves with some emergency know how's.

One of such is when food or whatever sticks in your child's throat and he cannot breathe. This is what you would have to do:

1) stand/kneel behind the child and wrap your arms around his waist.
2) put your fist against the child's belly, just above the navel and below the his ribs.
3) press into the child's belly using a sudden strong upward jerk.

These movements allow the air to be forced out from his lungs to free his throat. The movements can be repeated when necessary.

And in situations involving adults especially someone that's bigger than you, this is what you would do, remember to be a quick as possible.

Lay such person on his back and ten sit over him in a way that his legs would be between your thighs. Place the heel of your lower hand on his belly between the navel and the ribs.
Then make a quick, strong upward pus and repeat several times if you ave to.

If this doesn't help, go into the application of mouth-to-mouth breathing.

But don't forget to do this carefully. The younger a child, the more fragile the ribs. If you try the Heimlich Maneuver on a child with the force of an adult, you can crush the rib cage.

Thanks for the post OP

Thanks for sharing. I believe it should be noted that there should variations on the kind of pressure to be applied.
