5. How do the rescue efforts differ when rescuing a baby if you are the only rescuer or if there is an additional rescuer?

6. How does breathing for a baby differ from that of an adult or child?
Instead of using deep breaths from your lungs, you use the strength of your cheeks to give them gentle puffs of air, in order to slowly breathe into the baby’s mouth one time, and then take a breath and continue.
