For a child, use the heel of one hand located on the center of the chest, on the sternum. For an infant, use 2 or 3 fingers (index, middle, and ring fingers) on the sternum, just below the nipple line.

It isn't, and this is in fact incorrect.The correct procedure for infants and children is to start with 5 rescue breaths before chest compressions are even given. Once the 5 rescue breaths have been given the normal ratio of chest compressions to rescue breaths should be given (30/2).It should also be noted that the depth should be changed to a third of the depth of an adult for child and infant casualties. And of course child-1 hand, infant-2 fingers.
