Is it normal for a newborn to breathe 70 times per minute?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child. I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will get worse. Is it normal for a newborn's breathing rate to be 70?

Doctor's answer:

Abnormal breathing in newborns is relatively common. The normal breathing rate for newborns is 40-45 times per minute. When a baby's breathing rate increases, parents should suspect whether the baby is sick. If the child is affected by newborn diseases, parents must take the child to the hospital immediately for medical treatment to avoid blindly using small advertisements for drugs. Rational medication is necessary. For parents, it is important to promptly monitor the child's condition and do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
