Hello, I was wondering with a 17 month old child, does he know minimum 30 breaths per minute or maximum 30 breaths per minute? My 17 months old boy breathes 40 breaths per minute while sleeping I don't know if it is too fast

Hello Mrs,

The average is 20 to 30 with a usual maximum of 40 per minute for a child of this age.

Sincerely,
