To the right of the sternum, just below the ribcage is a good place. Also, directly on the sternum and just below it, around the diaphragm. You can get a general idea of an infants heart rate by setting a timer for 15 seconds and counting the heartbeats until the timer goes off and them multiplying by four. This is only good for a general idea, though. If you need specifics, you would need an actual heart monitor or a pulse ox monitor.

I am not a doctor, I just have a child with a nasty heart defect and I had to learn how to do these things in order to keep an eye out or problems.
