For up to a year, in addition to controlling the heart rate in children, it is important to monitor the speed of breathing movement. The baby makes 2 times more breathing movements in one minute than an adult, and after 6 years their number is almost the same in adults and children.

The pulse of a newborn is sleepier than a teenager or an adult. This is because the heart muscle is still weak, and if the amount of blood pumps continues, it is necessary to contract more often, as in children who have older heart rates gradually grow closer to adult figures. There is a special table that shows the rate of heart rate reduction in children by age.

The child’s pulse will with a measured using a special device, and at home it is possible to determine the indices yourself by tapping on the artery and counting the frequency of the cuts per minute. In a crumb before the 3rd month of life, the pulse is more convenient to measure on the neck where the carotid artery passes. The older baby has indicators that are measured on the arm that the radial artery passes.

To fix the pulse rate in the baby, should be in a restful state regularly.

During the measurement, the child should be comforted, comfortably seated or lying down, and place the heel of his hand on a flat surface. The adult should put his fingers on the baby’s wrist and find an artery that is clearly felt during palpation. Within a minute, while the child is calm and motionless, it is necessary to count the number of strokes. Don’t forget that your heart rate will be different at rest, during sleep or while awake. In order to establish the norm in girls or boys, it makes sense to measure the heart rate daily in the same time interval.

If the indicators of a decrease or increase of 10% differ, it is assumed that this is a normal pulse in children. If there are major abnormalities, the child should be taken to the doctor urgently.

Pulse child during sleep

Watching crumbs sleep, parents report that the baby’s heart rate is much slower than when he is awake.
