PHOENIX (3TV/CBS5/Gray News) – First responders and medical staff had to use three doses of Narcan on a 1-year-old boy after he ingested fentanyl, according to court documents.
AZFamily reports emergency crews were called to respond to a home in southwest Phoenix for reports of a toddler not breathing.
His mother, 23-year-old Anna Chavez, gave him CPR until they arrived.
Paramedics gave the little boy two doses of Narcan and rushed him to the hospital where he was given a third dose.
According to police, tests revealed the 1-year-old had fentanyl in his system.

She told officers she gave the boy a bottle in the morning and afternoon, and he was breathing normally.
Chavez was charged with felony child abuse.
