When performing chest compressions on an infant with one rescuer, the rescuer should use two fingers placed just below the nipple line in the center of the chest. Compressions should be at a depth of about 1.5 inches and at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute, allowing complete recoil between compressions. After every 30 compressions, the rescuer should give 2 rescue breaths. It's essential to ensure the infant is on a firm, flat surface during this process.
Perform chest compressions for an infant at a rate of at least 100/minute.

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.
30 compressions per 2 breaths for 1 rescuer adult/child/infant 15 compressions per 2 breaths for 2 rescuer child/infant
