This gives the lower of the average rate at 12 breaths per minute. Average resting respiratory rates by age are: [11] [self-published source] [12] birth to 6 weeks: 30–40 breaths per minute; 6 months: 25–40 breaths per minute; 3 years: 20–30 breaths per minute; 6 years: 18–25 breaths per minute; 10 years: 17–23 breaths per minute
After first 5 breaths, if effective, it is also advisable to search for signs such movements, coughing, shortness and possibly only the presence of pulse, for less than 10 seconds. [citation needed] if there are signs of circulation or a heart rate greater than 60 continue ventilations with a rate of 20 per minute.

IRDS begins shortly after birth and is manifested by fast breathing (more than 60 breaths per minute), a fast heart rate, chest wall retractions (recession), expiratory grunting, nasal flaring, and blue discoloration of the skin during breathing efforts. [citation needed]
This may include withholding oral feeding in periods of extreme tachypnea (over 60 breaths per minute) to prevent aspiration, supplemental oxygen, and CPAP. [7] Evidence from clinical trials investigating the use of postnatal corticosteroids for transient tachypnea of the newborn is inconclusive. [8]
A rapid respiratory rate is defined as greater than 60 breaths per minute in children under 2 months old, greater than 50 breaths per minute in children 2 months to 1 year old, or greater than 40 breaths per minute in children 1 to 5 years old. [65]
