1. To aid a choking infant, place the infant face down over one arm, and deliver five gentle back blows.

    

2. If the object is not expelled, turn the infant face up, supported on your arm. Place two of your fingers one finger-width below the nipple line. Deliver up to five chest thrusts.

    

3. If the choking infant is unconscious, hold the infant's tongue and lift the chin. If you can see an object and believe that you can easily remove it, slide your little finger down the inside of the cheek and sweep out the object.

    

4. If the infant isn't breathing, keep the head tilted with one hand and the chin lifted with the other. Tightly seal your lips over the mouth and nose. Give two breaths, removing your mouth between breaths. Breathe forcefully but not so hard that air goes into the stomach.
