When Riziki's eight-day-old baby choked on milk, she went into panic mode. She describes the experience as horrifying and traumatising, trying to resuscitate her infant, who was unconscious at the time.

Riziki recalls breastfeeding her son, burping him, and putting him on his side to take a nap before heading to the washroom.
