Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds think that everyone should take a baby CPR class
When they're not trolling each other or posing for disgustingly adorable Humans of New York posts, you can find Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds being the perfect citizens they are at their local CPR class.
The two posted pics on the 'gram of them at a class over the weekend where they learned how to give CPR to babies and toddlers—and now they're sharing their experience with the hopes that you too will learn how to perform some good ol' Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
"I can't recommend this enough, I took a CPR class with with a focus on babies and toddlers," Lively said, in a message directed to those of her Instagram fans that are parents.
"Google 'infant CPR class near me' and you'll see lots of listings. 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 explained.
Fans who saw the image on Instagram began commenting on the photo, explaining how much her mission of CPR awareness meant to them, and Lively responded to a few.
"Thank you for sharing. Thank you because when you share your story, we can all lean on each other as mamas," she wrote, in response to one comment. "We can also communicate and find ways to best protect each and all our babies together with what we've each experienced."
"Years ago, I took a CPR course thru the Red Cross. And holy shit, I ended up saving my nephew's life because I knew what to do! True story!" Reynolds wrote on his Instagram.
"Yesterday I took a refresher course -- focusing on infant and toddler CPR. It takes only a few hours and it's also kinda, sorta fun," he continued, thanking the teacher for the lesson and the "two helpful yet lifeless dolls whose vacant ocular cavities will haunt me until end times."
With the combination of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions, CPR helps blood flow back to the brain and heart, usually following a cardiac arrest. According to the American Heart Association, 88 percent of cardiac arrests happen at home—so knowing CPR can really save someone's life.
