Normal Baby's Heartbeat

Calculating the baby's heartbeat

The heart rate of infants and children is indeed faster than older children and adults. This is because the need for blood supply is higher than the big boys. To meet the needs of more new blood supply that is, the heart must beat faster.

Here the average heart rate of infants and children:
Age 1-2 days: 123-159 times / minute
Age 3-6 days: 129-166 times / minute

Age 1-3 weeks: 107-182 times / minute
Age 1-2 months: 121-179 times / minute
Age 3-5 months: 106-186 times / minute
Age 6-11 months: 109-169 times / minute
Age 1-2 years: 89-151 beats / minute
Age 3-4 years: 73-137 beats / minute
Age 5-7 years: 65-133 beats / minute
Age 8-11 years: 62-130 beats / minute
Age 12-15 years: 60-119 beats / minute

Heart rate also depends on the activity of infants and children. For example, when crying or pain, heart rate can reach 180 beats / minute. When a child has a fever or dehydration, heart rate also increased.

You need to hurry to the doctor if the child was pale and blue, tight, or when breathing muscles tug appear sunken into the chest. If you could talk too, the child complained of chest pain, fainting, or decreased consciousness, and when the child resting heart rate is higher or lower than normal. If there are abnormalities in the above, you should take it to the doctor to be checked and handled further.
