If you are outside in the woods or other place you might not think is safe, check to make sure you are safe. You won't be able to help if you are about to be attacked.

You want to check to make sure the infant is breathing. Lift up the chin and tilt the head back. This should allow the air to flow if it the infant is breathing. Look for a rising and falling chest. Listen for inhaling and exhaling. Feel for air coming out of the nose or mouth.

Also check the baby's pulse by putting two fingers, not your thumb, under the baby's armpit, between the elbow and the top of the arm.

Next, put the infant on his back. Make sure you don't move the neck, head, or spine at all.

Put your mouth over his, completely covering it. Pinch your fingers over his nose so that no air can come out of it.

Breathe slowly into the baby's mouth two times. Don't breathe too fast but give slow calm deep breaths.

Check to see if the baby is breathing again. Check to see if he has a pulse as well. If he doesn't then you need to begin CPR.

Put your middle, and ring fingers in the middle of the baby's chest, slightly under and between the two nipples. Push down 30 times as fast as you would if you were doing 100 in a minute. Push down about 1/3 of how deep the chest is.

Check to see if the baby is breathing. If not repeat with 2 breaths and 30 push downs for 2 minutes. If nothing happens, again keep talking to 911 and continue CPR until the paramedics arrive.
