The panicked mum shared exactly what happened in an Instagram Story.
She wrote: “Mia nearly f*****g died. So she woke early as I’m staying at mum’s, so I pulled her in bed with me.
“Tom got out and left us in bed. Mia was awake but just laying.
“I obviously dozed off, then a weird noise woke me, her choking.
“Proper choking like that horrible silent choking.”
She said that she started slapping the baby on the back to try to help clear her airways.
Jess went on: “I had no idea what was happening. I had her upside down and I was banging her back and I mean going for it for ages.
“Sat her up and she was still choking.
“I was screaming Tom’s name, but he didn’t come as he didn’t hear me.
“I was smacking her back so hard she will probably have a bruise, went on for ages.
“Then eventually something flew out along with loads of blood.”
