Rejected petition Give basic first aid training before leaving the maternity ward

A brief video, 41 seconds long to be exact, is possibly all it takes to save a life, the life of a child choking.

More details

I believe if a short video was released during your antenatal class or hospital stay showing these simple actions it could save the lives of many. It would be great to repeat this video at some point during the first year of parenthood also.
No parent wants to be in the position where their child is choking or isn't breathing but with basic knowledge and such simple (if you know how) live saving actions it could turn a possible fatality into just a horrid experience.
