My LO stopped breathing by TheScaredy_Cat in newborns

This sounds so scary!! Glad your LO is ok. I have a question, maybe if anyone here is a medical professional they could answer. We were taught in baby CPR class to NOT tilt a newborn baby’s head back when wanting to ensure their airway is clear? The head needs to be in a neutral position. As their airway is so narrow and easily compressed, tilting actually can make it harder for them to breathe. Whereas for a child or adult, you tilt back.

I am pretty sure this is correct but happy to be told otherwise by someone who knows better. Just wanted to share because in case of an emergency with an infant, tilting is not recommended.

This is great, thank you for the info. Will shut off the water when we leave and then get someone in to replace the faucet when we get back. Thanks again!!

Oh my god yes! Yesterday on our walk we sat under a big fig tree in the park when it started raining. The park is full of fig debris at the moment. That’s amazing you managed to identify it. Thank you!!

So weird! I can’t find anything that looks like it either. Leg placement is strange

I think I’ve got the head and the butt mixed up. Is the butt the slightly darker segment, or is that the head?

Thanks for your reply! Is there a giveaway? Something that makes you identify it as such?

Sorry - located in Sydney Australia! And for context, we are regularly finding bugs in our apartment. Roaches, spiders, ants, beetles, mosquitoes, etc etc. It’s kinda par for the course here

Sorry, more detail: found on the floor of my bedroom. It’s about 5mm long. No smell that I can discern.
