Although those all has the same methods to do for baby, child, or mature, but you’re already know that there are difference methods among of them. Now here below are another important thing you should make a bear attention.

Airway
Is the victim unresponsive? If so, shout for help, position the child, and open the airway.

Breathing
Check for breathing. If there's no breathing, give 2 full breaths. Look for chest rise, listen for sounds of breathing, feel for breath on your cheek

Circulation
If the victim still isn't breathing, attempt to check the carotid pulse for a few seconds. If there's no pulse or you can't locate the pulse and the child is still unresponsive, begin 1 minute of CPR. Then leave to activate the local EMS system or send someone else to activate the local emergency number while you perform CPR. Continue to do CPR until help (EMS) arrives.
