If the child is not breathing, tilt his head gently backwards with one hand and lift his chin with the other. Give two breaths with your mouth placed over the infant's nose and lips. Wait for the chest to rise and fall before giving the second breath. If the baby's chest rises, then using two of your fingers check for a pulse on the insides of the baby's arm between the shoulder and the elbow. If a pulse is found in five seconds, then give one breath every three seconds until child breathes on his own.
