Why does a two-year-old baby breathe faster?

In fact, parents need to pay special attention to their children's physical health when taking care of them. They need to understand whether their bodies have any abnormal symptoms. If we ignore it, it may cause some diseases to cause greater harm to the baby's health. For example, we must pay attention to the baby's breathing condition. The following are the breathing problems of a two-year-old baby.

Respiration: Children have vigorous physiological metabolism, and their oxygen demand calculated based on body surface area is close to that of adults. Children can generally only meet the body's needs by increasing the number of breaths. The younger they are, the higher their breathing rate. A normal newborn breathes 40 to 44 times per minute; for children under 1 year old, it is 30 times; for children between 1 and 3 years old, it is about 24 times per minute. To observe the number of breathing times, it must be done in a quiet or sleeping state to be accurate.

Heart rate: Children's heart rate is faster, mainly because their metabolism is vigorous, and their body tissues need more blood supply, while the amount of blood pumped by the heart each time remains relatively unchanged. The need can only be met by increasing the number of beats. Newborns: 120~140 times/minute; under 1 year old: 110~130 times/minute; 2~3 years old: 100~120 times/minute; 4~7 years old: 80~100 times/minute; 8~14 years old: 70~90 times/minute. The younger you are, the faster your heart rate and the faster your blood flows.

Because if the baby has rapid breathing or difficulty breathing, it may be caused by some diseases, so we must not ignore and pay attention to the baby. Once we find any abnormal conditions in their bodies, we should pay attention to them, treat and solve them in time to ensure the healthy growth of the baby.
