Put the fingers of your other hand under the bony part of the lower jaw near the chin. Tilt the chin upward to keep the airway open.
Take a normal breath (not a deep one), and place your mouth over the baby's nose and mouth, making a tight seal. Blow air into the baby's nose and mouth for 1 second, and watch to see if the baby's chest rises while keeping the chin tilted. If the chest does not rise, tilt the baby's head again and give another breath.
Between rescue breaths, remove your mouth from the baby's nose and mouth and take a normal breath. Let the baby's chest fall, and feel the air escape.
