To give back blows:
- Position the infant face-down on your forearm, holding the infant's jaw with your thumb and fingers.
- Lower your arm onto your thigh so that the infant’s head is lower than his or her chest.
- Then give 5 firm back blows with the heel of your hand between the shoulder blades.
- Each back blow should be a separate and distinct attempt to dislodge the object.
