1 Place
the infant face down across your forearm (resting
your forearm on your leg) and support the infant’s
head with your hand. Give four forceful blows to
the back with the heel of your hand. You may have
to repeat this several times until the obstructing
object is coughed out.

2 If
this does not work, turn the baby over. With two
fingers one finger width below an imaginary line
connecting the nipples, give four forceful thrusts
to the chest to a depth of 1 inch. You may have to
repeat this several times until the obstructing object
is coughed out. |
