Chapter 11: Choking—Infant
If a baby is choking and cannot cry, cough, or breathe, that’s a medical emergency, and you need to act quickly but calmly.
To help a conscious choking infant, follow this step-by-step process using back blows and chest thrusts:
- Hold the baby face-up on your forearm with their head positioned lower than your chest. Use one hand to securely support the infant’s head and neck.
- Turn the infant over, face down, still resting your forearm on your thigh.
- Using the heel of your hand, give 5 firm back blows between the shoulder blades.
- If the object doesn’t come out, turn the baby face-up again and give 5 chest thrusts.
- For chest thrusts, use 2–3 fingers in the center of the chest, just like in infant Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).
- Repeat sets of 5 back blows and 5 chest thrusts until the object is removed, the baby starts to respond, or the baby becomes unresponsive.
If the infant becomes unconscious, begin infant CPR immediately. Your Online CPR/AED Course will walk you through those steps so you can respond confidently if this ever happens.
