How to do CPR

How to do CPR

This valuable skill could save your baby's life:

  1. Place your baby on a firm surface. Open his airway by placing one hand on his forehead and gently tilting his head back, then with your other hand use one finger to lift the baby’s chin.
  2. Place your mouth over the baby’s mouth and nose and – by blowing steadily – attempt 5 initial rescue breaths.
  3. Place 2 fingers in the middle of his chest and press down one third of the depth of the chest. After 30 chest compressions give 2 rescue breaths.
  4. Continue with cycles of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths until emergency help arrives.
