A mum is warning other parents to be wary after her two-year-old son choked on a lollipop - as he was sat on her lap. Mum-of-two Amy Mantle, 33, told of the dangers of lollipops after her two-year-old son Baker choked on one - despite the fact she kept her eyes on him the whole time.
Amy, a public speaker and the founder of children's boutique blessieandbaker.com, was left terrified on Thursday, April 28, after what was supposed to be a relaxing appointment at the hairdressers turned into a nightmare. Baker was given the lollipop as a treat for him to enjoy while he sat on his mum's lap as she got her hair done.
But things turned sour when Amy saw that the sweet had come off the end of the lolly stick. It was only when she saw that Baker couldn’t breathe that she realised what had happened and, when she couldn’t remove the sweet from her son’s throat, she began to panic.
