A normal rate for infants would be 40 - 60 breathes per minute.

Young children (2-6 years of age) have a typical rate of 20 - 30 breathes per minute.

A healthy adult at rest would have a breath rate between 12 and 20 breathes a minutes. With the average being closer to 12 breathes per minute, but as people age this rate tends to go up slightly.

During stress or exercise this rate can approach 70 or more breathes per minute.
The normal rate of respiration is about 12 to 24 breaths per minute. This may be higher in children or during exercise and anxiety
