Sadie Robertsons Baby Recovers After Choking Scare

Published 13 April 2026

Sadie Robertson, the former Duck Dynasty star and author, recounted a frightening choking incident involving her 8-month-old daughter, Kit Carroway Huff, that unfolded at their home in West Monroe, Louisiana, earlier this week. In an Instagram post shared on April 11, 2026, Robertson described how the baby stopped breathing briefly while eating a snack in her high chair, prompting immediate action from family members and leading to a full recovery after an overnight hospital stay.

Robertson was preparing dinner when Kit began to choke. Her mother, Korie Robertson, quickly removed the infant from the high chair and handed her to Sadie as the baby's breathing ceased. Korie called 911 while Sadie, drawing on prior knowledge from instructional videos, performed CPR on the infant. Family members prayed aloud and moved the other children to safety downstairs. "After following protocol for a baby choking and doing CPR, Kit coughed and began to breathe, just as the paramedics arrived," Robertson wrote in her post. She accompanied Kit in the ambulance to the hospital, where her husband, Christian Huff, followed in their vehicle and later noted a rainbow visible overhead during the drive.
