I have a helathy 5 month old. I just counted respirations at 42 per minute while asleep. Average for an infant I believe is 30-50. Any higher and I would look for signs of distress like fever, illness, retractions (caving in) to the abdomen or chest while breathing. Any of those and the child's pediatrician should be called or if the child is in severe distress or becoming blue around the lips he/she should go to the nearest ER or better yet, call 911. A respiratory emergency is actually a legitimate reason to call EMS.
