A child's heart rate varies depending on their age. Normal heart rates range from 100-150 beats per minute for babies to 55-85 beats per minute for older children.
Here's a breakdown of typical heart rates by age:
- Babies (birth to 3 months): 100–150 beats per minute
- Kids (1–3 years old): 70–110 beats per minute
- Kids by age 12: 55–85 beats per minute
It's important to note that these are resting heart rates. A child's heart rate will increase during activity or excitement. If you are concerned about your child's heart rate, consult with a pediatrician. You can find more information at Nemours KidsHealth.
