1st Responders Perform CPR on Infant Who Stopped Breathing

A Michigan dad is thanking first responders after they saved his infant's life. The crisis began when the mother of the 4-month-old boy, Laker Carlson, called 911. Carlson was not breathing and had no pulse. The little one was born 12 weeks prematurely and suffers from spina bifida. The baby was on oxygen when authorities say something went wrong and he suddenly stopped breathing. A sheriff's deputy performed child CPR on Carlson until he started to breathe again. Inside Edition's Megan Alexander has more.

I would be so scared to give a baby CPR. The officer is a hero. I’m so glad the baby is doing well.

Seeing your baby not breathing is heartbreaking and absolutely horrible. You're hoping and begging that he'll be ok. Something you never forget about. Thank you to all people who saved this little baby's life.

I know the mother. She’s a very sweet person and is incredibly strong. It’s awful she had to go through this after such a long battle before.

I was born with spina bifida, so I understand what this baby will go through when he gets older. I’m glad they were able to save him.

Oh my gosh! Sweet angel baby! Thank you first responders for staying calm and collected and saving that baby. It has to be so hard going to those kind of calls.

You can’t fake a mothers cry. I remember when my one year old had a seizure, she fell unconscious in my arms and I couldn’t keep her awake. The dispatcher was trying to keep me calm while I sobbed just like the mother in the video… I’m so happy the baby was okay.

Man, being a father does really change you.

I was thinking of my two kids the whole time and how id be broken to see that happen to them.

[ZombieNYT]

Those first responders saved that kid’s life. Just feeling relieved that the baby lived almost made me cry happy tears.

Seeing that baby so tiny and small and helpless… Props to them all, thank you so much for saving that baby. I’m too young to be a mom yet but i had some urge come over me and started crying and just wanted to hug it so bad and assure it that it’d all be fine… It’s so precious. ❤️❤️❤️
