Sadie Robertson is opening up about the traumatic moment her baby girl stopped breathing.

In an Instagram post on Saturday, April 11, the Duck Dynasty star, 28, revealed she’s been experiencing “waves of anxiety” since a scary choking situation involving her 8-month-old daughter Kit earlier in the week.

“Kit was sitting in her high chair this week, eating a snack while I was finishing up dinner prep, when she began to choke,” Robertson recalled. “Within seconds, you could tell the severity of the situation. My mom pulled her from the high chair and placed my girl into my arms just as she stopped breathing.

“Everyone went into action and into prayer,” she continued. Mom called 911, I started CPR, and everyone began to pray out loud and move the other kids downstairs.”

Robertson, who shares three children — Honey James, 4, Haven Belle, 2, and Kit Carroway, 8 months — with husband, Christian Huff, said she’d previously watched several videos about CPR as she’s the type of person who wants to be prepared for every possible scenario.

The reality TV star said she “felt God’s Spirit” guiding her as she put into practice everything that she learned from the clips.

“After following protocol for a baby choking and doing CPR, Kit miraculously coughed and began to breathe, just as the paramedics arrived… it was truly terrifying, but God,” said Robertson.

“I rode in the back of the ambulance with my girl, still afraid, but praising God,” she continued. “Christian drove behind, following us, and told me there was a rainbow over the ambulance the whole way there😭🌈.

“We stayed the night for observation, but she charmed the nurses just a few hours later and is now perfectly healthy, happy, and brightening everyone’s day!” Robertson recalled.

Robertson previously spoke to PEOPLE about having to convince her husband about their youngest daughter’s name.

“I love the meaning of the name Kit. It means pure or to bear Christ and I love that so much,” she said. “I pray over our girls for just their pure hearts and pure minds. And so I was like, ‘That would be really cool, to speak that over her life.'”

She said Huff “could not deny” that their baby girl should be called Kit after repeatedly seeing the name when they visited England.

Speaking about becoming a family of five, she said, “Honestly, the best transition that we’ve had,” adding, “I think the zero to one transition to me was the hardest.”
