Only being critical from my nurse point of view (lol!), but either your child has an incredibly low heart rate or the method you used to take it really wasn’t effective. Children’s heart rates are generally much higher than adults- and according to your graph it was sitting much lower than an adults!

We only counted for 20 seconds, not a minute! So you’re looking at around 100 for a resting heart rate and 165 for jogging/running. I should have said that, my mistake. The idea of keeping my kids still for a whole minute while getting their heart rate is just not on, but I should have said.

Tabs February 11, 2011 at 4:54 pm: lol fair enough, another thing you could do (that we do as nurses) is to take it over 15 secs and times by 4. But I suppose that’s something you could do with them when they are a bit older and can help you with it.
