Channel 7 star says a viral Instagram video saved her baby’s life – and reveals the dangerous sign every new parent must be aware of
A Channel Seven reporter claims a viral Instagram video saved her baby’s life.
In an Instagram post, Seven News Perth crime reporter Monique Dirksz shared that she had noticed her son Noah was breathing strangely when she put him on a changing table a few weeks ago.
‘I saw that between his ribs it looked like he was collapsing when he took a breath. It ‘sucked in his chest, his ribs and his throat,’ she wrote.
But because she saw a video on the Instagram account Little heartsshe could understand the seriousness of what was happening.
“Because I had recently seen a post on Tiny Hearts about chest retraction, I knew this meant an immediate emergency,” Monique explained.
