[quote=Anonymous]IF an infant is truly choking - not coughing or moving any air - you put the baby in the correct position for back blows (laying on your forearm with chin supported in your hand, your arm tilted down so baby's head is lower than his chest) and begin with 5 back blows. If the back blows do not dislodge the item, you flip baby over and do 5 chest thrusts. Lather, rinse, repeat. If baby becomes unconscious, you start modified CPR, and the first step is to look in the baby's mouth and see if the item being choked on is visible. Maybe that is where your nanny is getting the "mouth sweep" idea from, but she's grossly mistaken, and it sounds like you don't know much about how to handle a choking infant either.
