50 beats/minute The heart rate of a newborn ranges from 100 to 180 beats/minute. After birth, the heart rate stabilizes to an average of 120 to 140 beats/minute. Infants may have wide fluctuations in the heart rate with activity. The infant may have 170 beats/minute or more while crying, and 70 to 90 beats/minute while sleeping. Therefore, a heart rate of less than 60 beats/minute indicates bradycardia in the infant. The heart rate of 70 beats/minute and 80 beats/minute may indicate bradycardia in the newborn, but not in the infant. A heart rate of 90 beats/mintute is a normal finding in infants.
