A member asked:
What is the normal respiratory rate for infants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
24-38 bpm: While newborns may breathe up to 50 BPM in the neonatal period, this settles down into the 20's to mid 30's by the end of the first weeks. Increases are common for increased activity or fever.
