[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 3 year olds ate popcorn and other "chokeables" with adult supervision.[/quote] And if your kid choked, what exactly would you do? The issue with popcorn is that due to its weight and texture, you can't just Heimlich it out like you would a piece of hard candy. It would just get lodged in there and you'd be supervising your kid's demise.[/quote] THIS! Supervision isn't enough. Think about the texture of a soggy piece of popcorn. It's kind of spongy and won't create the kind of obsruction in the trachea necessary for the Heimlich maneuver to work. The HM works by pushing whatever air is in the lungs up the trachea to pop out the piece of food. Spongy things don't pop.[/quote]
