How to Perform the Heimlich Maneuver on Toddlers and Older Children?
For children over one year old, follow these steps: 1. Stand or kneel behind the child, depending on their size. 2. Make a fist with one hand and place it just above the childâs navel. 3. Grasp your fist with your other hand and perform quick, inward and upward thrusts. 4. Repeat until the object is expelled or the child becomes unresponsive.
