6How to Perform CPR with Breaths for Babies
Below are basic steps to perform CPR with breaths for babies and infants:
– Step 1: Put both thumbs close to each other in the middle of the baby’s chest. Provide support by circling your fingers around the baby.
– Step 2: Use both thumbs to push down quickly and hard at a depth of around 1.5 inches. Do 30 chest compressions.
– Step 3: Lift your chin and tilt your head to open the airway
– Step 4: Breathe into the mouth of the baby for one second. Let the air come out before breathing another time.
– Step 5: Keep alternating chest compressions with breathing until the child breathes again or when medical services arrive. [10]
