Gently tap him or shout his name.

]]> 82717 2 0 Step Put him on his back Place him on his back on the floor or another firm, flat surface.

]]> 82718 3 0 Tip If there’s a chance the baby has a spinal injury, move him without twisting his head or neck—get someone to help if possible.

]]> 82719 4 0 Step Open his airway Open his airway by placing one hand on his forehead and the other on his chin. Simultaneously lift his chin while gently pushing down on his forehead.

]]> 82720 5 0 Tip If there’s any bleeding, get it quickly under control by applying pressure to the area before doing CPR.

]]> 82721 6 0 Step Check breathing See if he’s breathing. Put one ear against his mouth so that you’re looking toward his toes. Listen and feel for his breath on your cheek while watching for his chest to move. Spend no more than 10 seconds doing this.

]]> 82722 7 0 Step Get help If the baby is not breathing, yell for someone to call 911 while you begin CPR. If you’re alone, do CPR for two minutes, then quickly make the call yourself before resuming.

]]> 82723 8 0 Tip If you’re alone and you don’t think the baby has a spinal injury, carry him with you to the phone to call 911. If necessary, the dispatcher can help talk you through the CPR steps while you wait for help.

]]> 82724 9 0 Step Begin rescue breathing Inhale normally, hold the breath, and—with the baby’s head still tilted back—place your mouth over the baby’s nose and mouth. Make an airtight seal with your lips. Give two breaths lasting about a second each. Blow hard enough to make his chest rise—but don’t blow forcefully; you could damage his fragile lungs.

]]> 82725 10 0 Tip If you can’t cover both his nose and mouth with your mouth, keep his mouth closed and breath only into his nose.

]]> 82726 11 0 Step Continue breathing If the baby’s chest rises, keep breathing for him at the rate of one breath every three seconds, or 20 breaths per minute, until he’s breathing by himself. Time yourself with a watch, if you need.

]]> 82727 12 0 Tip If the baby vomits—and there’s no sign of spinal injury—turn his head to the side to let the vomit out. If you wipe his mouth, be careful not to force any vomit into his windpipe.

]]> 82728 13 0 Step Perform choking first aid If the baby’s chest doesn’t rise, there may be something in his airway. In this case, you’ll need to perform first aid for choking.

]]> 82729 14 0 Step Start chest compressions If you don’t see any signs that blood is circulating, such as normal breathing, coughing, or movement, don’t waste time checking for a pulse. You’ll need to start chest compressions.

]]> 82730 15 0 Step Place your fingers Place two or three fingers of one hand on the baby’s chest, between and just below his nipples. Put the other hand on his forehead to keep his head tilted back.

]]> 82731 16 0 Step Push down Push straight down in a smooth motion—enough to press his chest down half an inch to an inch. Release completely. Repeat 30 times quickly—roughly at the rate of 100 compressions per minute.

]]> 82732 17 0 Step Perform breaths Give two more rescue breaths.

]]> 82733 18 0 Step Do compressions Do another set of chest compressions.

]]> 82734 19 0 Step Continue the cycle Repeat the breathing-compressing cycle until help arrives. Check for breathing, coughing, or movement after every five cycles—about every two minutes.

]]> 82735 20 0 Fact A baby can suffer permanent brain damage after only four minutes without oxygen.
