Steps for Giving Child & Baby CPR

Learn the CPR steps for children and babies in our AHA-certified training sessions. Below is a quick guide to keep the basics fresh in your memory:

Before Giving CPR

1. Check the Scene for Safety
   • Ensure the environment is safe before approaching the child or baby.
2. Check for Responsiveness
   • For a child: Shout their name, tap their shoulder, and shout again.
   • For a baby: Shout their name, tap the bottom of their foot, and shout again.
   • Look for breathing or any obvious signs of life for no longer than 10 seconds.
3. Call 911
   • If unresponsive and not breathing (or only gasping), call 911 immediately and retrieve an AED if available.

How to Perform Child & Baby CPR

1. Position the Child or Baby

• Place them on their back on a firm, flat surface.
• For children: Kneel beside them.
• For babies: Position yourself at their side, ensuring stability.

2. Perform Chest Compressions

• For a Child:
  • Place one hand (or two for larger children) in the center of the chest.
  • Push down about 2 inches at a rate of 100–120 compressions per minute.
  • Allow the chest to fully recoil after each compression.
• For a Baby:
  • Use two fingers or both thumbs just below the nipple line.
  • Push down about 1½ inches at the same rate.
  • Let the chest return to its natural position between compressions.

3. Provide Rescue Breaths

• Tilt the head back using the head-tilt/chin-lift technique.
• Blow into the child or baby’s mouth for about 1 second, ensuring visible chest rise.
• If the chest doesn’t rise, reposition the head and try again.

4. Continue CPR

• Repeat cycles of 30 chest compressions and 2 breaths until:
  • The child or baby shows signs of life.
  • EMS arrives and takes over.
  • An AED becomes available.
