why is the pulse rate higher in newborns and children than adults
Newborns have resting heart rates around 100 to 150 beats per minute, way higher than that of adults. In fact, a newbornâs resting heart rate is in the ballpark of the target heart rate for an adult doing a heavy workout.he babyâs quiet and calm, and everyoneâs at rest. So their heart rates are low, maybe 60 or 70 beats a minute for the adults.
