Lay the infant down and - firmly but gently - repeatedly press between ribs and bellybutton with two fingers.

If an infant is choking seriously on an item, call 911 immediately if you are in the US. While waiting, if you know how, try to dislodge the item from the infant's throat - if visible when the mouth is open. Always check first of all if the infant is breathing and if he/she is able to cry or scream.

In infant Choking what is the initial step in rescuing?

In cases of infant choking, the initial step is to assess the situation and determine if the infant is truly choking. If the infant cannot cough, cry, or breathe, you should deliver five back blows between the shoulder blades using the heel of your hand. If the obstruction persists, follow this with five chest thrusts by placing two fingers on the infant's chest just below the nipple line and pushing downwards. Always ensure to call for emergency help if the choking does not resolve quickly.
