Solution

  1. First, you should place the infant on a flat surface, like a table or the floor.

  2. Position the infant on their back.

  3. Next, you should gently tilt the infant's head back by lifting their chin slightly. This is known as the "sniffing" position.

  4. Be careful not to tilt the head too far back as this can block the airway.

  5. Once the head is in the correct position, you can check the airway for any obstructions.

  6. If you see an obstruction, try to remove it if possible. If you can't remove it, or the infant is still not breathing, start infant CPR and call for emergency medical help immediately.
