Nation & World | Infant drowns in Des Moines apartment | Seattle Times Newspaper
I don't link this because I want to blame the mom-
However- while I was reading it, I was remembering being 23 and having a new baby in the house myself.
I had taken a first aid course before I brought her home from the NICU, but that was because it was required, not because I would have thought of it otherwise.
I think that a refresher course in first aid ( to reinforce) common sense, is good for all of us and one that covers large scale emergencies is even better.
( I think that the information included in an infant/child first aid course, would have reinforced the knowledge that young children should never be left alone, particulary in a dangerous situation.)

Hoping this will get us to do this regularly.
