Cover the mouth AND nose of the infant with your mouth. Blow in a gentle breath. Remember to kept the baby's head at a neutral position as to not overstretch the trachea.

Call for help if you have not already done so. Do the breaths with compressions just like an adult except with two fingers on the chest only.
