Lucas Bley helps his daughter with Lucas Rangel choking: "Every second counts"

Influencer Lucas Bley, 33, said on social media this Friday (29) that he had to help his seven-month-old daughter with Lucas Rangel, Mia, from choking at home while eating a meal.

"Something happened in the first week of my daughter's introduction to food and I thought a lot before releasing this video here. But, during those days, she went to my mother-in-law's house and I wasn't there. My sister-in-law was giving her lunch and said: 'if it happens again, Bley needs to tell us what to do." This sparked something very important for me," he said.

According to him, it is necessary that the child's entire support network knows how to perform choking maneuvers. Furthermore, he took the opportunity to deny the idea that putting your fingers in the baby's mouth to remove food is an effect.

Soon afterwards, he explained to his followers how it is recommended to act at a time like this.

"I placed the baby on my forearm and, with your C-shaped hand, you hold his face with his mouth open. With the child in this position, with the head lower than the body, apply five blows to the back", he detailed.

If the first action does not work, you should turn him forward and apply chest compressions.

"As every second counts, with the same hand you are doing the blows, do the compressions; turn and do the blows; turn around and do compressions", he highlighted.

The official first aid guidelines were changed by the American Heart Association (AHA) in October 2025 - changing the recommendations related to the Heimlich maneuver, which indicated starting with abdominal compressions.
