Infant and Toddler Emergencies: What to Do in the First 5 Minutes (Made Simple Series)

When a baby or toddler is in trouble, the first five minutes can determine everything. Most parents and caregivers don’t panic because they don’t care — they panic because no one has clearly taught them what to do first. Infant & Toddler Emergencies: What to Do in the First 5 Minutes is a calm, practical guide designed to help parents, caregivers, and first responders act with confidence before professional help arrives. Written in clear, plain language by a healthcare educator and emergency response instructor, this book focuses on real-world decision-making, not medical jargon. Inside this guide, you’ll learn how to respond to: * Choking and breathing emergencies * Unresponsiveness and collapse * Seizures and high fevers * Allergic reactions and anaphylaxis * Drowning and near-drowning * Poisoning and overdoses * Severe vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration * Bleeding, burns, and common childhood injuries You’ll also learn: * What matters most in the first few minutes * How to protect the airway and breathing * When to call 911 — and when not to delay * How to tell what’s normal vs. dangerous in infants and toddlers This is not a textbook and not a replacement for medical care. It is a panic-proof, step-by-step guide for those critical moments when every second counts. If you care for infants or young children — at home, at school, or in the community — this book will help you act faster, calmer, and with greater confidence when it matters most.
