At an incident, a small child isn’t breathing. To restore normal breathing, how should you breathe into their mouth?

Explanation: If a young child has stopped breathing, first check that their airway is clear. Then give compressions to the chest using one hand (two fingers for an infant) and begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Breathe very gently and continue the procedure until they can breathe without help.
