The size of the body. It takes longer for the blood to travel through the body and back to the heart where it needs to be pumped again in adults. Newborn's blood doesn't have to travel as far, and reaches the heart quicker.

Another Answer: Young children, babies especially, will have higher heart rates simply by virtue of their smaller anatomy. Infants tend to range between 100 to 160 bpm. As the child grows to more adult proportions, their heart rate will fall into the "adult" range of 60 to 100 bpm.
They should definitely have a faster heart beat and respiratory rate as their metabolic rate is higher, therefore the body needs an increased amount of oxygen.

What is the normal respiration for a new born?
Newborns and babies have a faster respiratory rate than adults. A newborn should have a respiratory rate of 30 to 60 breaths per minute.
Is Resting metabolic rate higher in children than in adults?
It is a matter of doing the right adjustments!!! Adults have higher resting metabolic rates (RMR) when compared to children, this is solely based on their greater body-weight. If you adjust RMR per Kg body-weight children will have higher resting metabolic rates. Now it gets tricky, children also have a greater surface area to mass ratio. If we adjust now for surface area the RMR in children and adults become similar. The same principle accounts for the different RMRs in mice and elephants (Kleibers law)!

What breathing faster mean in newborn?
Newborns breathe at a much faster rate than adults and even older children. Normal adults take about 12-20 breaths per minute. Most newborns take between 40 and 60 breaths per minute. So if the newborn is breathing faster than adults, that's no cause for concern. But if she is breathing significantly faster than other newborns, then there may be something going on that needs medical attention.
