choke...

yesterday, i feed ian pear. he can now bite and chew on his own. i slice the pear and let him bite and chew. could you believe it that ian got a total of 16 teeth when he step into 1 year. 16 out of 20 milk teeth. everyone that sees him got shock with the number of teeth he has. don't know why he got his teeth grow so fast. but it actually give us hard time for his feeding. he lost his appetite each time when he is teething and the interval between each is like so close. hai..

back to the pear feed. while he was eating he is playing and having fun. he lift up his head facing the ceiling and laughing. he did it few times and suddenly at one bite he got choke. his face turns red.. coughing.. sound like wanted to throw out..

i was really panic. don't know how to help him. i wanted to dig out the food from his mouth but he push me away. i pat his back and put the bowl in front of him and ask him to throw out but he push me away. eventually he manage to get over it - manage to clear it - he swallow it.

i told papa about it at night and papa was warning me that i should learn and be ready if things like that happen. i really need to read and learn more to be prepared. very important to know what to do. papa said i should turn ian upside down.

today i googled for topic on it and found these sites that i think is quite useful..
If a Child Chokes be Ready to Help
What To Do If Your Child Is Choking

i really need to learn more to be prepared... i learn my lesson... thank god that ian was fine...
