It's fine: It's fine that she has minor decreases in RR now and then. If it only drops for 30 seconds, I'm not even quite sure how you are counting it as that because a good respiratory rate reading should be done over one minute of counting. The other thing that perplexes me is why are you counting her RR - does she have some type of underlying neurologic or respiratory condition? Otherwise, very normal!
