Lordy that's scary about the fingers. The one and only time my DD1 choked (ironically on a piece of soft pear) I was able to hook it out with a finger. Not sure I really wanted to wait until she stopped breathing to test the other stuff out...!

ETA right Emmy after that I'm properly scared now. All power to you, you did the right thing and thankfully it worked. Not going to read any more of this thread cos it's bringing out all the choking stories!!
