Question
What is a baby’s normal heart rate? I’m worried it might affect my child’s health and work.
Answer
Generally, a newborn’s heart rate ranges from 120 to 140 beats per minute. It may slightly increase during activity, feeding, or fever, with a normal range of 140 to 150 beats per minute. If your child’s measured heart rate falls within this range, there’s no need to worry. However, if you still feel concerned, it’s advisable to take your child to see a doctor for further examination.
