Step 2: Elimination of the object from the airways
Hitting on the back
– Put your forearm on the thigh, but keep the palm up while in a sitting position. Then, place the baby on your forearm. It needs to be leaning with its belly on your arm, and the jaw will be protected by your hand. Keep its head lower than the body.
While in this position, hit the baby’s back 5 times. You can freely use a bit strength while hitting the baby’s back.
Abdominal pressure ( If the previous method does not work)
Place the baby in your lap and using your free hand, hold its head lower than its body.
With the other hand, press the center of the baby’s chest just below the baby’s nipples with your two fingers about 4 cm in depth. This should be repeated 5 times and the object will be eliminated from the airways.
Artificial respiration- ( If the other methods have not succeeded)
The video below will instruct you on how to perform CPR on your baby, as a last resort, if both the above methods have failed to provide positive results.
