Infant CPR Courses

DH and I have been trying to find a place in the area where they teach infant CPR courses. Unfortunately, we haven't had much luck. Does anyone know of a site or maybe even a YouTube video that can help with this? We'd like to be prepared before LO comes and are getting to the desperation phase.

I did mine through the Red Cross, I took the full course though, infants, adults and first aid. I figure it's good to know. There is no Red Cross course near you?

You can check their site they may have videos in there. I will say it's difficult to know how much pressure to use without hands on experience though.

Your hospital doesn't do it? If not they should know who does. You really need to practice with a baby "dummy". Hope you find a class, it is so important!

Red Cross? American Heart Association? Your hospital?

We checked the Red Cross and they don't have any listed in our area (which is weird since we're not a tiny town). I'll check with the hospital and the American Heart Association. Thanks!

Our Carilion hospital has infant CPR classes.  If you have a Carilion in your area they may as well or have the resources to find one

My hospital has classes that they offer listed online. Try to Google yours and see what pops up.

I called the hospital and they don't do it there, they do it at the children's hospital nearby... And besides the one they had last night, the only other one they're offering in the near future is at the end of March. Sad

Some fire stations also hold classes so you might want to check with them. I found the BabyCPR app quite useful since you can practice on your iPhone like it's a baby dummy. I found the step-by-step tutorials more useful than YouTube videos because you can do each step as you learn it. Then I used the practice mode to put things together and practice until I felt comfortable. Plus it tells you if you're doing it wrong (too fast, too slow, etc.). If you can't find a class, I'd recommend getting the app. You can find it on the App store or go to the website http://babycpr-app.com
