Infant CPR Class in Charlotte

Infant CPR & Choking Class for New Parents, in Your Own Living Room

An infant and child CPR and choking class in your own Charlotte home, taught by Megan H., RN. $200 for up to 4 people. About 1 hour, hands-on, no test.

The short answer

  • Infant choking: if a baby can’t cry, cough, or breathe, call 911. Then alternate 5 back blows and 5 chest thrusts until the object comes out or the baby becomes unresponsive. Abdominal thrusts aren’t used on infants.
  • Child choking: the 2025 guidance uses 5 back blows alternating with 5 abdominal thrusts.
  • Infant CPR: start with chest compressions. Use one hand or the two-thumb encircling technique, because the AHA dropped the old two-finger method. Give breaths along with compressions if you’re able.
  • AED use for kids, with pediatric pads when available.
  • Safe-at-home talk: pools, choking hazards, and when to call 911.

Reading isn’t enough. You’ll repeat each step on a manikin until it’s muscle memory.

Expecting and new parents, grandparents, nannies, and babysitters. It suits parents who just moved here (one family booked us as new pool owners), and mom groups who want to learn together.

If your job requires certification, choose Heartsaver CPR & AED ($85) or the CPR + First Aid Combo ($95). Both include the child and infant CPR modules and an AHA eCard. See the daycare training page.

Pregnant, recovering, or unable to get on the floor easily? Tell us, and we’ll set up practice from a chair or couch.
