Is it normal for babies to have uneven breathing?

Because every family now has only one child, and new parents are also very caring for their children, paying special attention to every breath of the child. They will be very worried if they feel the breathing is slightly uneven. Regarding this issue, new parents need to understand how to view the characteristics of baby's breathing and how to judge whether the child has uneven breathing. Now, I will take you to understand and let you know whether the child's uneven breathing is normal!

In fact, the child's breathing depends on the situation, and it is not a problem if the child's breathing is uneven as you think! First, let's look at the baby in the awake state. Generally, the breathing rate after exercise or crying is 60 times per minute. Under normal circumstances, the respiratory rate is about 40-50 times per minute.

To understand whether your child’s breathing is normal and even, you need to “listen, look, and feel”! Listen. Put your ear close to your baby's mouth and nose and listen for breathing sounds. Look, bend over and look level at the baby's chest to see the ups and downs. Feel, put your face close to your baby's mouth and nose and feel your baby's breath with your skin.

However, during sleep, your baby's breathing rate slows to 20-40 breaths per minute. Because the respiratory center of the newborn is not yet sound enough, the breathing rhythm will be irregular, with alternating deep and shallow breathing or uneven fast and slow breathing. He may pause his breathing for 5 seconds or longer, and then start again with deepening breathing.

Therefore, every child will have some abnormal phenomena at different times. To judge whether the child's breathing is even, uneven, or normal, you must first understand the child's breathing rhythm, and then you can make an accurate judgment. I believe that if you read the article carefully, you will definitely understand it!
