Sol Pérez Recounts Newborn Choking Scare During Breastfeeding

She credits a household employee for reviving her son.

Overview

  • Pérez said the episode happened four days after Marco’s birth during a long feeding when he fell asleep and a small amount of milk remained in a nipple shield.
  • She turned the baby and delivered back blows as he turned red and stopped reacting, then ran outside seeking someone to perform CPR and called her husband for medical help.
  • Andrea, who works in the home, intervened with additional maneuvers and a blow of air to the baby’s face, after which Marco reacted.
  • A pediatrician later examined the infant at the house, checked his lungs, and reassured the family that he was fine and had no apparent lasting effects.
  • In a recent appearance on the streaming show Sería Increíble (OLGA), Pérez described the trauma, noted early breastfeeding challenges including use of a nipple shield, and urged parents to learn CPR and first-aid.
