Good on him for staying calm in that rattling situation!

I wonder: do those "first-time parent" classes include infant CPR? It would make sense if they did.

Yup - I'll go with the flow and agree that people really should know how to do this already.

At a friend's house their son choked on a bacon sandwich. She didn't know what to do so I got on with it - moments later our son choked on the other end of the same sandwich and I had to invert and thump him, too.

Cursed bacon - who trusts it?

That's awesome that dad kept that calm. I had to be the first responder (I used to be an EMT) on the scene for a call involving my 16yo daughter. Trust me, it's not easy.

Also, I think EVERYBODY should know how to perform CPR.

THEN WHO WAS PHONE?

How ironic is that. He saved his own son.

I think parents should definitely learn how to give CPR, safety first. wouldn't hurt to know.
