With the infant facing towards you, place your arm between the infants legs and support their back with your whole hand. Then while supporting with your one arm, bend over and place the infants back on your thigh so that the infant is upside down. Find the mid-way point between the nipples and use two fingers and thrust your fingers down and up towards their mouth.

How does CPR keep someone alive?
CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is a fast acting way to save someone. You have to check for any signs of life, which will prevent you from doing CPR if it is not needed. Rescue breaths are about one second long and make the chest rise, lungs inflate, and heart pick its rhythm up. Chest thrusts done at the natural rhythm of the person's heart rate make the heart beat manually instead of by the person's will. It does not work automatically. CPR is done at the ratio 2:32. 2 breaths for every 32 chest thrusts. That's how it saves you.
