Tiny Hearts CPRThe answers, before you need them.
Straight, properly sourced answers to the things parents and caregivers actually search for at two in the morning. Every clinical claim is cited to the American Heart Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics or Indiana statute.
Eight guides covering the questions that come up most: when to take a class, how deep and how fast infant compressions go under the 2025 guidelines, what to do when a baby is choking, which certification your job actually requires, how long a card lasts, and whether Indiana's Good Samaritan law protects you. None of them replace putting your hands on a manikin.
Which guide should I read first?
If you are pregnant, start with when to take a class. If solids are about to start, read what to do when a baby is choking. If anyone in your house trained before 2025, read what changed in 2025 first, because their hand position has almost certainly moved.

Read thisWhy a CPR instructor publishes this for free
Because the alternative is what is already out there. Search any of these questions and you will find pages written to sell an online certificate, hedged into uselessness, or last updated before the 2025 guidance changed. A parent at two in the morning deserves better than that.
Pam teaches across Indianapolis and the surrounding areas. If you are not in Indiana, take these pages and go find a class near you through the American Heart Association infant CPR resources or the American Red Cross. The goal is that more people can do this, not that more people book with her.
If she did teach your class, leaving a Google review is the single most useful thing you can do for her.
About these guides
Are these articles a substitute for taking a class?
No, and every one of them says so. Reading about compression depth does not calibrate your hands. These pages exist so the information is already in your head when you turn up, and so that people searching at two in the morning find something accurate.
Who writes these?
They are grounded in published guidance from the American Heart Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and Indiana statute, with the sources linked at the bottom of each page, and reviewed against what Pam teaches in class.
How current is the clinical guidance here?
It reflects the 2025 American Heart Association and American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines, including the change away from the two finger technique for infant compressions.
The next thing worth knowing.
