I WANT TO SAVE MORE BABIES

DESPITE having no first-aid training, Natasha Jones used instinct alone to save her 11-week-old baby girl when she suddenly stopped breathing in her cot during a nap.

Natasha, 38, from Hampshire, calmly began CPR after finding Ava-Mai lifeless, even though she had only seen it performed on TV.

‘She was very blue and wasn’t moving and my heart stopped in my chest,’ Natasha said. ‘When I picked her up she was a rag doll – her head rolled back, her eyes rolled back. I thought she was dead.’ Determined to turn her terrifying experience into something positive, Natasha set up community project Baby Resuscitation, which offers CPR training to parents and carers. More than 900 people have attended courses – including Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh – which have contributed to saving at least two lives so far.
