For an unresponsive choking infant, the correct procedure is to give sets of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts. CPR is for cardiac - related issues (not the first step for choking here). Blind finger sweeps can push the object further. Abdominal thrusts (Heimlich) are for older children/adults, not infants.
