Babies are impressionable creatures. They soak up information like a sponge, mimicking and repeating everything they hear around them. Truly, their environment is key to how this will play out. Whether your baby recites swear words or Shakespeare is wholly dependent on you.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (most often abbreviated to CPR) is a life-saving technique used in a variety of situations. Whether it be a heart attack, near drowning, or someone whose heartbeat or breathing has stopped —CPR can be a factor determining life or death.

Babies are known to get into things they shouldn’t, and this mom wanted to be prepared for the worst. So, she registered for a CPR class and brought her baby daughter along.

During the class, the woman held on to the instructor’s every word— but, as everyone would soon learn, her baby was doing the same!

After the class was over, the mother put her daughter on the ground. That’s when the baby inched her way over to the CPR dummy and showed everyone her life-saving moves. In the video, the baby is clad in a lavender shirt and headband.

In the video, you see her crawl up and start administering chest compressions to the CPR dummy.

At one point, she even stops and babbles, using her baby language to ask if he’s okay.

Then, after a few more chest compressions, she turns to give the dummy mouth-to-mouth.

Although you can’t see her behind the camera, I’m assuming the girl’s mother is beaming with pride. How often do you see someone so young learning how to save a life?
