For infants you can check the pulse by using the apical pulse, or heart beat with a stethascope, or using your index and middle finger to feel for a brachial pulse on the upper inside area of the arms.

Use your pointer and middle finger to check pulse and do mouth to mouth as usual.

Use the 'Brachial' pulse instead of the carotid, rather not stick your fingers into baby's neck.
