It's crucial to puff gently as a baby's lungs are still very small and could easily pop. Without any professional training this instinct kicked in.

Miami Fire Rescue arrived moments later and rushed little Sebastian to Jackson Memorial Hospital. The baby was listed in stable condition Thursday night and will make a full recovery.
