On Friday, in Guararapes, São Paulo, a 4-month-old baby choked on milk while being breastfed by his mother. In her panic, she called for help, prompting a response from military police who arrived at the family's home, located in the Industrial neighborhood. The officers were able to perform emergency maneuvers to clear the baby's airway, effectively saving the child's life.

After the successful intervention, the baby was transported along with his mother to the Santa Casa de Guararapes, where he received further medical evaluation and care. This incident highlights the critical and urgent role of first responders in potentially life-threatening situations and emphasizes the importance of parental awareness in managing emergencies involving infants.

They recommend calling the emergency number 193 for immediate assistance and advise caregivers on performing initial first-aid procedures to help an infant in distress until professional help arrives.
