Normal infant breathing rate and possible consequences

With the development of the times and the implementation of family planning policies, children have become the focus of parents' attention. Therefore, more people have begun to pay attention to the health of babies, especially newborn babies who are relatively weak and more susceptible to infection risks. Therefore, babies often become the object of concern for parents. Here I will introduce the normal number of respirations of newborns and the possible consequences.

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.

In addition to shortness of breath, there are other symptoms and signs that can help us diagnose pneumonia early. The most important thing is the "three concave" part.

The baby is still young and his immune system has not yet formed, so his resistance is relatively weak and he is prone to infection with diseases such as pneumonia. Therefore, for the baby's health, you should observe the baby's breathing rate to determine whether he has any disease. If the baby's breathing is abnormal, he should be taken to the hospital for treatment in time. I hope you and your baby are healthy.
