Infants in need of CPR must be positioned differently than adults in need of CPR. Also, circulation needs to be checked in a different position for infant CPR than for adult CPR (check the carotid artery instead of the brachial artery). Thus, it would be more helpful to attend a child-specific first aid course as well, instead of simply taking an adult-specific first aid course.
