I took my 1 month old baby to the doctor today as I've realised her fast breathing may not be normal. I counted high 80s a minute earlier when she was awake (the number of breaths). Now she is asleep on me it's high 40s but I think that's still fast when asleep?
The doctor listened for heart murmurs and couldn't hear any but agreed she breathes fast. Didnt seem concerned but said to 'keep an eye on it'.
She has put on loads of weight, seems well and there are no other signs of anything wrong. Does anyone have any experience of this? Could her fast breathing just be normal for her?
