That question is not fully correct.
When doing mouth to mouth rescue breaths, it is important to inflate the chest completely by blowing a strong breath into the patients mouth. In an infant or child, you are advised not to take a full breath in because any excess air goes to the stomach and is regurgitated in the form of vomit.
If you are sufficiently trained to use a device that replaces rescue breathing (known as a bag-mask) be careful not to squeeze the bag fully as any excess air will travel down to the stomach and the patients stomach contents will be expelled through the mouth. This is not only unpleasant, it poses an airway obstruction threat.
In summary, inflate the patient's chest fully and wait for it to rise down between each breath. You should only allocated a maximum of three seconds for theo two breaths before going back to chest compressions. Compressions are more important than rescue breathing.

Why do you not give very large breaths during rescue breathing?
Giving very large breaths during rescue breathing can force air to reach the stomach, causing the patient to vomit. Vomiting while the patient is unconscious poses a risk to airway management as it may become obstructed. Furthermore, you do not have time to be giving very slow, forceful breaths are chest compressions take precedence in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
