Compressions on an infant should be performed either with you hands wrapped around the baby, pushing your thumbs into the lower half of the sternum, but not the very bottom of it, or with the baby lying flat on it's back, using your index and middle finger in the same location. Depth should be 1/3 the total thickness of the infant's chest, or about 1 1/2 inches. If alone, give 2 rescue breaths after every 30 compressions at a rate of 100 per minute, being sure to cover the infant's mouth AND nose with your mouth. If you have a second rescuer, have them give 2 rescue breaths after every 15 compressions. Have the 2nd rescuer call 911 before assisting you with CPR.
