Never poke the finger straight into the throat. Be careful of finger sweeps because they may cause further blockage. If the infant does not begin to breathe right away, place your mouth over the mouth and nose of the infant. Attempt two quick, shallow breaths. Because of the infant's size, use quick and short breaths.
Repeat steps two through six.
Call for emergency medical services. Place the child on his back. Kneel at his feet. Put the heel of one hand in the midline between the navel and ribcage. Place the second hand on top of the first.
