Choking can often be silent, making it harder to notice.

If your baby is choking, their frantic actions and struggle to breathe may not last long. This could indicate a life-threatening situation rather than the blockage having cleared.

Here are some signs to look for:

• Panicked or frantic behaviour
• Cold or clammy skin
• Coughing, wheezing or whistling
• Blue lips, face, earlobes and fingernails
• No response or loss of consciousness
