- When treating a choking baby, first grab the baby by the jaw, cradle it across the arm, and perform five back blows.
- If that doesn’t work, flip the infant over and provide five chest thrusts.
- Next, look into the airway. If the object is visible, remove it. If not, perform two ventilations and continue the entire cycle.
