St John Ambulance are currently running a campaign called #thechokeables which aims to raise awareness for parents and carers for children around the risks of choking and how to help a choking child.
They believe that everyone should have the skills and confidence to know what to do in an emergency.
Knowing basic first aid can be the difference between life and death – and every week they hear of new people whose lives have been saved because someone nearby knew what to do.
40% of parents asked by St John Ambulance have witnessed their own baby choke and it was found that almost four-fifths (80%!) don’t know what to do in this situation.
Using the voices of celebrities such as David Walliams, David Mitchell, Johnny Vegas and Sir John Hurt, St. John Ambulance have made a short video called "The Chokeables" to show us how to help a choking baby.
In The Chokeables, the celebrities take on the characters of animated objects that could potentially choke babies: a small princess toy, a pen lid, a jelly baby and a peanut.
They've joined together because they've had enough and want to show how easy it is to save a choking baby's life.
In just 40 seconds you can learn how to give first aid to a choking baby.
You may have already seen the video featured on ITV but, just in case you haven't, here it is.
Please watch it and share this post so that as many people as possible learn what to do.
