Any irregularity of the heart (arrhythmia) should be reported to the doctor or pediatrician. Although is may be just a normal occurrence, much more serious causes such as Heart disease or cardiac conditions may be present in the baby. Other common causes of arrhythmia include dysfunction of the sinoatrial node (the node that sends electrical impulses to make the heart beat) and ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation a serious condition which causes the patient to go into cardiac arrest.

As a safety precaution, it is my recommendation that they be seen by a qualified medical practitioner and get evaluated.

What is normal 3 month old heart rate?

It depends. Children often have second to second variations in their heartbeats due to respiratory affects on the centers that control heart rate. Sinus arrythmia is an example of this normal physiologic "irregular heart rate". There certainly are many much more rare and dangerous causes of an irregular heart rate but in an asymptomatic 8 year old these are extremely unlikely. I would contact your pediatrician and discuss with him/her exactly what you mean by "irregular heart rate".
