How should you position an infant to give back blows?

Positioning an infant to give back blows is a crucial technique when administering first aid for choking. The correct method is to rest the infant along your forearm with their head positioned below their shoulders. This angle allows gravity to assist in dislodging any obstruction from the child's airway during the back blows. By having the infant's head lower than their chest, any object blocking the airway can be more easily expelled as you deliver the blows.

Additionally, this position provides support for the infant while ensuring their airway remains open. It is essential to maintain a firm yet gentle grip to prevent any harm while effectively delivering the necessary back blows.
