What is the reason for the baby's breathing 60?

Every baby is an angel in the family. From the moment the baby is born, many new parents will find that the baby's breathing rate is higher than normal when taking care of the baby. When feeding the baby or giving the baby water, the baby's breathing rate will speed up. Some babies even have a baby's breathing rate of about 60. So what is the reason for such a fast breathing rate?

Children have vigorous physiological metabolism. Their oxygen demand is calculated based on their body surface area, which is close to that of adults. Children can only meet their body needs by increasing their breathing rate. The younger they are, the higher their breathing rate. Normally, a newborn breathes 40 to 44 times per minute; 30 times under 1 year old; about 24 times between 1 and 3 years old. To observe the breathing rate, the sample must be taken in a quiet or sleeping state to be accurate.

Increased respiratory rate Characteristic signs of pneumonia in infants under 3 years old Parents of children with mild pneumonia should pay great attention to coughing and shortness of breath in children. The respiratory rate is accelerated. Children under 2 months old have 50 breaths per minute. Children aged 2-12 months have 40-50 breaths per minute. Children aged 14 years have more than 40 breaths per minute. Children under 2 months old have 60 breaths per minute. Children aged 2-12 months have more than 50 breaths per minute. Children aged 14 years have more than 40 breaths per minute.

If the newborn's respiratory rate exceeds 60 times/minute or is slower than 30 times/minute, observe whether the breathing status has rapidity, cyanosis, spitting, etc. If the respiratory rate is faster and accompanied by the above symptoms, you should pay attention and go to the hospital for treatment in time. Of course, when a normal newborn is awake, active or crying, the breathing rate sometimes exceeds 60 times/minute, and sometimes reaches 80 times/minute, but the breathing rate will slow down when it is quiet. This is all normal.

Guidance:

Because the breathing of newborns is often changing, especially premature babies often have intermittent breathing, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. This is a normal phenomenon. However, in case of emergency, you must go to the local hospital in time.

Regarding the phenomenon of infants breathing at a frequency of 60 times, we usually need to pay attention to whether the child has symptoms of crying, spitting, or not eating milk, and take the child to check whether it is lung function in time. If the baby has no special symptoms and is normal, parents do not need to worry, because this is caused by the child's incomplete respiratory system.
