THIS is the dramatic moment a quick-thinking mum saves her toddler from choking to death during a family TV night.
A family of five was captured on CCTV footage while sitting watching telly in their lounge, when the toddler, who was sitting on the floor, appeared to put something in his mouth.
The young boy can then be seen putting his hands over his mouth, at which point his mother springs into action, realising that something isn’t right.
The mum stood him up and leant him over, while tapping his back.
The object appears to be released from the toddler’s mouth, and he stops choking.
The video was shared by Tiny Hearts Education, an Australian organisation running first aid courses for new parents, as a cautionary message for parents about the dangers of children choking on small objects.
“This is hard to watch, but this is real life,” the caption read.
“Because this Mama knew basic first aid, she could spring into action and be the hero her child needed.”
“Because this Mama knew basic first aid, she can tuck her little one into bed tonight, safe and sound.”
The post was urging parents to learn first aid before it was “too late”.
“Don’t let yourself be the parent who regrets not knowing what to do if the unthinkable happens,” it said.
