The usual sucking candy on a stick almost killed her daughter.
Parents usually try not to give their children sweets. Sugar is still not good for the child’s body. For example, Timati’s mother feeds her granddaughter with dried fruits instead of sweets. And even then in limited quantities. But if the kid nevertheless tried candy once, it will be incredibly difficult to deprive him of the goodies. It is easier to minimize harm by giving out sweets strictly according to the regimen. So the mother of two children Karl Schone, an English nurse, decided. She sometimes gave her daughter lollipops. But now there will be no more candies in her house, because the baby almost died because of the usual candy.
“I’ve never been so scared in my life. Now I am writing this and literally cannot breathe from horror, “Karla wrote on her page in”.
As it turned out, the lollipop came off the stick and hit the girl straight in the windpipe.
“Her lips instantly turned blue, she gasped for air and could not breathe,” Karla writes.
Thanks to her professional skills, Karla managed to cope with the disaster. The ill-fated lollipop was pulled out of the girl’s throat. Mom promised: never again will she buy such a candy and give it to her child.
Karla’s post instantly went viral, spreading over the network with hundreds of thousands of shares. More than 17 thousand people left comments under it: it turned out that not only Karla faced something similar.
“My children are terribly furious that I forbid them to eat such candies. But they can only use gummies. I was always afraid that something like this would happen, ”one of the mothers admits. And another said that she forbids children not only with lollipops, but also any hard candy like caramel, as well as grapes – they can only cut berries in half. In addition, she is so afraid that the child will choke that she will not allow him to eat in the car: “At this moment you cannot see him. What if something happens and I just don’t notice? “
By the way, it is forbidden to give such lollipops to children under three years old. Manufacturers even mark this on the packaging. True, not all parents follow this rule. And in vain: the restriction was introduced after a two-year-old toddler choked on a lollipop.
