For two rescuer infant CPR; one rescuer should give the breaths, the other rescuer performs compressions using the 2 thumbs encircling hands technique. Give cycles of 15 compressions and 2 breaths.
One rescuer will be at the head of an infant to perform rescue breathing (2 breaths). The other rescuer will be at the opposite (feet) end performing the 15 compressions using the 2 thumbs encircling technique.
One rescuer is at the infant's head, along the long axis of the body, using a mask to give the 2 breaths. The other rescuer is at the feet end, facing the infant, hands around the sides of the chest, using the 2 thumbs on the sternum, below the nipple line, to give the 15 compressions.
One rescuer will be at the head area of the infant to perform the rescue breathing (2 breaths). The other rescuer will be at the opposite or feet end of the infant performing the 15 compressions using the 2 thumbs encircling technique.

I assume this is a test question. Shame, shame. :) Unless the rescuer is trained with proper equipment, simply provide compressions. Do not stop for breaths as it is more effective without them.
