This episode is titled: “The Infant CPR Doll”
- There are resources out there to help train you and one of the ones we have used is the American heart Association CPR package.
- It comes with a doll and enables you to practice doing CPR on it so you’ll be prepared if such an awful catastrophe like that would occur in your presence.

- Administering CPR is something that I have thankfully not had to do I’ve had to do.
- It honestly scares me more than anything just a thought of someone having to do that so if you have had too, my heart goes out to you.
- As a brand new parent it’s something that you don’t think about until it almost happens or your baby.
As scary as it is to think about it’s almost comforting also to know that you are trained or have some sort of training with CPR on an infant.
