45 breaths/min is OK: If babies get a full tummy, the upward pressure on the diaphragm muscle can make them breathe faster for short periods, but 45 breaths a minute is normal. Babies can normally breathe up to 60 times a minute normally

Normal: Babies do breath faster than adults do. If they breathed as slow as adults do they would die. The normal respiratory rate is 30-60 breaths per minute, so 45 is right in the middle of where your baby should be. They also have faster heart rates than adults.
