We at First Response Advantage feel that it is never too early to learn the skills
on how to save your baby or child's life in case of any emergency. The best way to learn infant and child CPR is from a certified
instructor. Our classes are offered on site and at several locations to meet your Needs.
We use baby and child size mannequin's to demonstrate how to perform
every aspect of the technique, such as just how hard to strike the back if your baby is choking. Practicing
each step of CPR along with our experienced instructor's to guide you we will also help you learn how to do it and
remember what you've learned so you'll feel prepared in the event of an emergency.
We can even have our instructors
come to your home or another gathering place to teach a group you assemble. You might invite babysitter's, grandparent's,
and anyone else who cares for your baby. Or invite other new parent's and make a party out of it.
