What if I am not confident with rescue breaths because of infection risk?

If you are unwilling or unable to give rescue breaths, compression-only CPR is better than doing nothing. However, for children, the ideal is still combined compressions and breaths; training and barrier devices can help you feel more confident about giving full CPR when it is safe to do so.
