When performing CPR on a baby the position of head should be?

The head of a baby should be in a "neutral" position during CPR. This means that the baby's head should be kept in line with the body, with the chin slightly up. This position helps to keep the baby's airway open and prevents the tongue from blocking it.

To position a baby's head for CPR, follow these steps:

1. Place the baby on a firm surface, such as the floor or a bed.

2. Kneel next to the baby's head.

3. Gently place one hand on the baby's forehead and the other hand on the back of the baby's head.

4. Tilt the baby's head back slightly, so that the chin is pointing up.

5. Maintain this position throughout CPR.

It is important to remember that the head should not be tilted back too far, as this can cause the airway to become blocked.
