According to the 5th military fire battalion of Lages, the center received a call from a desperate family in which their 30-day-old baby choked on breast milk after being breastfed by his mother.

Agents tried to direct relatives by phone, but to no avail. Due to the seriousness of the situation and longing, the family did not wait for the arrival of Samu cars and firefighters and went to the battalion.

The baby who arrived at the scene was unconscious and was transferred to the care of one of the employees of the fire department garrison who was at the scene. The agent immediately began procedures to clear the child’s airway.

After the biggest fear had passed, the child attracted all the attention of the duty team and was examined by Samu’s doctor. The child’s relatives were consulted on the spot and advised to better assess the child’s health at the Ceara do Bem Children’s Hospital.
