✔️ Online & self-paced            ✔️ Taught by certified experts           ✔️ Lifetime access           

You can Google "How to cut food safely for babies" all you want

But you can't Google your way through an emergency.

Choking is one of the biggest fears parents have when starting solids — and honestly? That fear is valid. The good news is that the vast majority of feeding situations can be handled calmly and confidently when you know what you’re looking at and what to do. The difference between panic and confidence is preparation. And preparation is exactly what this course gives you.

What's inside the course

Everything you need to stay calm

when it matters most

The Safe Beginnings Infant CPR & Choking Prevention course was created by Holly Choi, a baby and toddler safety expert who has taught these skills to over 170,000 parents and caregivers. This isn’t a scary, overly clinical course — it’s warm, practical, and designed to build real confidence.

Here’s what you’ll walk away knowing:

Infant Choking Response

Know exactly what to do — step by step — if your baby chokes. Clear, instructional video demonstrations so you can act fast and confidently.

Infant CPR

Learn the correct technique for infant CPR (as well as for child and adults), demonstrated clearly so you understand not just the steps when someone is unresponsive, but the reasoning behind them.

Choking Prevention

Practical environment guidance on food or toy sizes that reduces risk right from your very first solids meal — this pairs perfectly with the Baby Led Feeding program.

Injury Prevention at Home

Beyond the highchair — cover common household hazards and how to keep your baby safe as they become more mobile and curious.

Learn on your own terms

Watch on your phone, tablet, or laptop at your own pace. Captions available. Lifetime access — because safety skills don’t have an expiry date.

Why This Course Belongs In Your Hands

Before Baby's First Bite

🧠 Skills stick better when you learn them before the stress. Trying to absorb information when you're already anxious isn't learning — it's scrambling. Do this before solids start and the knowledge will actually be there when you need it.

🍌 You avoid an overload of information at 6 months. Almost every parent who has done this course says the same thing: they wish they had learned this BEFORE they started solids, because it took enough energy just focusing on learning what, when and how to feed their baby once the process began.

Babies don't just choke on solids - these skills are for everyday life. Knowing these skills as early as possible is critical for emergencies and injuries with toys, water, poisons, or your baby going unconscious for any number of reasons.

💌 Your confidence is contagious. Babies are incredibly perceptive. When you're calm and confident at mealtimes, they are too. That's good for learning to love food — and it all starts with you feeling prepared.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this course only for people doing baby led weaning (finger foods)?

Not at all! Whether you're starting with purees, finger foods, or a mix of both, every parent starting solids needs to know CPR and choking response basics. The skills you'll learn apply no matter your feeding approach.

When should I take this course?

Ideally, before you start solids — so typically around 4–5 months of age. Learning these skills when you're calm and not in a high-stress situation means they'll actually be accessible to you when you need them. That said, it's never too late to get prepared, and the beauty of it being video based with lifetime access, is you can rewatch and relearn the material again and again (unlike one time in-person classes).

How long does the course take to complete?

The course is about 2 hours of content, designed to be completed at your own pace. Most parents complete it in one sitting — it's concise, practical, and doesn't waste your time. And because you get lifetime access, you can revisit any section whenever you want a refresh.

Can I take this course if I'm not from Canada?

Absolutely. The Safe Beginnings online course is available to parents across North America and beyond. It's a fully online, on-demand video course you can access from anywhere in the world on any device.

What if I already have the Baby Led Feeding Program? Can I still get the discount on the CPR course?

Yes! If you already have the Baby Led Feeding Program, simply use the standalone affiliate link to get the 20% discount on the CPR course. The 30% bundle discount applies when you purchase both together for the first time. If you have any questions, just email us at [email protected].
