Detailed explanation-1: -Babies breathe mostly through their nose for up to six months of age. This is why it is so important to keep them on their backs while sleeping and keep blankets, toys or other fabric away from their noses (and mouth).
Detailed explanation-2: -At 6 months, babies breathe about 25 to 40 times per minute. An adult, meanwhile, takes about 12 to 20 breaths per minute. Newborns can also take rapid breaths, then pause for up to 10 seconds at a time. All of this is very different from adult breathing patterns, which is why new parents might be alarmed.
Detailed explanation-3: -If Your Child Is Breathing Fast They’re less than 1 year old and takes more than 60 breaths a minute. They’re 1 to 5 years old and takes more than 40 breaths per minute.
