infant cpr its check the pulse inside the upper arm while putting your ear to the mouth and looking at the chest if you don't feel breath do two slow breaths over nose and mouth and put two fingers a fingerprint below the nipple line do 15 press downss in the rythm a 100 per minute do this seguence over 4 times and check again the vitals keep on doing it until they breath on their own once they do put them on their left side. Also ofcourse check for anything obstructing their breathing and use your finger to chuck it out. And do cpr. if they are choking crab them by there head and body place head below your knee and put their stomach on your thigh when sitting down and do a couple thumps with your palm below their soldiers

I am a Certified Nursing Assistant and in my training I had to get certified in CPR for infant, child and adult. Also I had to learn the Heimlich Maneuver for infant, and adult. They are both very easy to learn, and I would say that it would be a good idea for new parents to learn the Heimlich especially because it is so easy for infants and toddlers to choke on something.

I am not certified or anything but I actually got my knowledge from reading a book with pictures. Which actually came in handy. 3 times that I can remember so far. One incident I did cpr, 2 others theheimlich. Im glad I know what to do though. And im glad I got hands on experience... One incident is when my daughter was in the room and her grandparents gave her a lollipop (they do this everyday which is annoying). She took the lollipop off the stick and seconds later began to choke. They started panicing and patting her back which i see alot of people do. Luckily I was in the other room and even though I cant see what my child is doing i try to listen at whats going on so I ran in the room and did the heimlich. I was suprised I didnt panic because the very first time i screamed befor my body could move.
