What is the normal heart rate of a newborn?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Normal newborns have a wide range of heart rate fluctuations. At birth, the heart rate is between 100-180 beats per minute, and it can stabilize at 120-140 beats per minute shortly after birth. The heart rate of children should be measured when they are calm or sleeping. During activities such as movement, crying, or feeding, the heart rate tends to be faster.
