PARENTS are being offered lessons in first aid procedures which could help to save a baby's life.
A two-hour class has been set up by Royal Lifesaving Society examiner Jean Robertson and is funded by the Friends of the Friary Hospital, in Richmond.
Life-sized dummies are used to teach mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, chest compressions and how to cope with youngsters choking.
Parents, grandparents and carers will hear about the course through health visitors and ante-natal groups.
Classes are taught by Mrs Robertson and Irene Brereton, of the Red Cross.
The next session takes place at the hospital on May 14 and a creche is available.
