Throughout life, it’s always fun to have someone who cheers you on, protects you, spends time with you, and would do almost anything for you. Sometimes we get along. Other times they drive us bonkers, but overall (most of the time) we love our brothers and sisters. While there are many reasons why having a sibling is cool, sometimes it can be even priceless.

The girls' mom Amanda Paigly, who was not at home during the time of the incident, explained in the clip,

“I was at work and about an hour after I had left from lunch the baby had stopped breathing.”

Lyla, however, saved her baby sister by blowing “a puff of air in her mouth”. The girl then proceeded to call 911.

  • Teaching your child to dial 911 is relatively simple to do and something that will stay with them for a lifetime.
  • Likewise, to prepare your child to deal with an emergency situation teach first aid basics.
  • Keep a basic first-aid kit in a central spot and make sure your child knows where it is.

All in all, keep yourself and your family safe!
