Hollywood couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have urged parents everywhere to take an infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) class.
Lively, who is raising daughters James, 2, and Ines, 8 months, with Reynolds, posted on Instagram: “All mamas and daddies out there, I can’t recommend this enough, I took a CPR class with a focus on babies and toddlers.”
In the photograph, Lively, known for films such as The Shallows, The Age of Adaline, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and TV show Gossip Girl, can be seen sitting next to several CPR dummies and a baby doll.
“For those of you who haven’t done it, you will love it. It’s so helpful by giving you knowledge, tools, and some peace of mind,” she added.
Reynolds also posted about the class that he and Lively took on his Instagram account, saying that it was a refresher for him and that he once had to use his CPR skills to save his nephew’s life.
He also encouraged parents to take the class, writing, “It takes only a few hours and it’s also kinda, sorta fun.”
