Q: Baby's Heart Beat

Hi,
my baby is having 3 years now, and is having a heart beat of 120 heartbeats per minute. Is this normal, and when do you think this should stop? I understood that a little baby should have a faster heartbeat, but since my baby is already 3 years old, I thought that this should already stop.

A child between the age of 1-4 120 beats per min is normal. As the child gets older the beats get slower. A child age 4-12 is 100 per min. Over 12 is 80. So that is normal:)
