During the breathing task for infants, you should ensure you are following safe and effective rescue breathing practices.

Key Steps:

• Place your mouth over the infant's mouth and nose to create a good seal, ensuring the airway is open. This is the correct method for delivering rescue breaths to an infant.

• Gently tilt the infant's head back while lifting the chin to open the airway, which helps facilitate airflow.

• Deliver gentle breaths — each breath should be just enough to make the infant's chest rise, with each breath lasting about 1 to 1.5 seconds, ensuring not to overinflate the lungs.

• Monitor the chest for rise and fall to confirm effective ventilation, continuing rescue breaths if needed until help arrives or the infant starts breathing independently.

Important points:

• Do not cover the infant’s nose alone or do both mouth and nose with force; the recommended approach is to seal both the nose and mouth with your mouth.

• Always check if the airway is clear before giving breaths, and be gentle to avoid applying pressure that could harm the infant.

This approach is vital for effective rescue breathing during emergencies involving infants.
