Question
Is a breathing rate of 70 normal for newborns?
Answer
Abnormal breathing phenomena are relatively common in newborns. The normal breathing rate is approximately 40-45 times per minute. If the breathing rate increases, it may indicate that the child is ill. If a newborn’s breathing rate is abnormal and accompanied by other symptoms, immediate medical attention should be sought, and self-medication with unknown drugs should be avoided. It is important for parents to closely monitor their child’s condition and assist with timely treatment.
