Crucial care needs to be taken of newborn babies as their bodies are sensitive to literally everything. A one-month-old baby 'turned red' and was left choking for dear life after taking his mother's breast milk. Thankfully, police officers came to his rescue in time.

When Lucas started to turn red and stopped breathing at their home in S?o Paulo, Brazil Parents Elvis and Cristina Marques rushed him to Ermelino Matarazzo Hospital.

A video showing three military officers holding the newborn face down in mid-air while one member from the team tries to pat the baby¡¯s back, is going viral. The police officer methodically hits Lucas' back as other officers try to check whether he is breathing.

Finally, after a while, the baby¡¯s arms and legs start moving and within a matter of seconds, he started wailing. The video also shows the mother lingering by the door and close to tears as she anticipates the return of her baby.

The dad informed the officers that his wife had breastfed their baby. When she was preparing to bathe him she realised he was 'struggling to breathe and choking', according to the Mirror.
