Deputy W Kimbro with the Berkeley County Sheriff&#8217;s Office pulled a car over for speeding on June 11, according to a Facebook post by the police department.<br \/> After she was pulled over, a woman inside the car explained that her baby had stopped breathing and she was rushing her to the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The mother told the Deputy the baby stopped breathing after drinking a bottle,&#8221; said the police department, adding that the deputy officer realised he had to act immediately to save the baby&#8217;s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deputy Kimbro took the baby&#8217;s limp and cyanotic body and performed lifesaving first aid. As a result, he was able to get the baby to breathe again until EMS could arrive.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Footage released on Thursday shows Deputy Kimbro massaging the baby and inserting a finger in her mouth to open her airway. &#8220;As long as she&#8217;s crying like that she&#8217;s breathing,&#8221; he can be heard saying. He continued performing first aid until medics arrived at the scene and took over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WATCH: SC deputy saves life of newborn baby that stopped breathing\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7Na8_z2seOQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>A video of the incident, shared on Facebook, has gone viral with over 2,000 \u2018shares\u2019 and hundreds of comments.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Because of Deputy Kimbro&#8217;s steadfast, professional and heroic response, the 12-day old baby was able to live,&#8221; said Berkeley County Sheriff&#8217;s Office, applauding their officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Thank you for your services and heroic act in saving this baby life!&#8221; wrote one person in the comments section. &#8220;I am in tears!
