A 16-month-old toddler from New South Wales came close to death after his parents left a tub in the shower to conserve water during the state's drought last week.
Jasper was left eating mango with his older sister while his mother was on the phone.
His sister found him six minutes later face down in a tub left in the shower to collect dripping water.
The boy's mother - who wished to remain anonymous - said Jasper was found blue and lifeless.
In a statement shared on the Tiny Hearts Education Facebook page, Jasper's family wrote: "Drowning is silent and very, very quick".
"A child can drown in 3cm of water. In 30 seconds. Silently."
Jasper's mother said her son was like a ragdoll as she carried him to her neighbour's house for help.
Neighbour Carolyn performed CPR on the toddler for 13 minutes before paramedics arrived to take Jasper to hospital.
The third-most common cause of death for children aged between one and 14 is drowning, according to Rach Waia the co-founder of Tiny Hearts Education, a first aid training service for parents.
Jasper has since made a full recovery.
