Some mothers find that their baby breathes so fast, as if out of breath, and are very worried about whether the baby is sick. In fact, there is no need to worry about this situation, because when the baby is born, he mainly breathes on his belly, so you see that his belly is up and down, and their breathing is faster than normal adults. The number of breaths when they are quiet is About 40 times per minute. If the child’s breathing rate continues to exceed 60 to 70 times per minute, even if the child is short of breath, this time often indicates a disease of the respiratory system or other systems. However, be sure to count the breaths in a quiet situation. When the child is crying, the number of breaths will increase.
The normal breathing of a normal newborn is about 40 breaths per minute (16 to 20 breaths for a normal adult). Breathing lasting more than 60 to 70 times per minute is called shortness of breath. The heart rate of newborns fluctuates greatly, ranging from 120 to 160 beats per minute (60 to 90 beats for normal adults)
