This one isn't a tip or a trick but a WARNING!
Last night at home we all had a small lollipop. Not going into brands but it is a small ball lollipop that is bigger than a dime and smaller than a nickel. I noticed mine came off the stick easily and then not a minute later my husband ran my 3 year old into the kitchen and said she wasn't breathing. Her face was red and stressed looking. In one swoop I grabbed her and put my hand fight on her diaphram while rotating her to put her upside down and a pop on the back and the ball hit the floor. Mia was crying and scared and we were all relieved that it came right out.
So please just avoid the lollipops all together. Just way to scary.
My daughter had coughed and on the intake of air she sucked the candy back into her throat. I am thankful we were all together when this happened and we were able to quickly save her. Then we gave lots of hugs and she got to stay up late to watch "The Ant Bully". It was fun.
