Explanation:

When performing 2 - rescuer CPR on an infant, the 2 thumb - encircling hands technique in the center of the infant's chest, on the lower half of the breastbone is preferred. This technique allows for better control and more effective compressions compared to other methods. With two rescuers, one can focus on compressions using this technique while the other can handle ventilation.
