Answer 1

Answer: Yes, this heart rate is too slow for a sleeping baby.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, the heart rate for a sleeping baby can range from 90-160 bpm. If the heart rate is at 84, then it is too low for a baby. Toddlers aged from 1 to 2 years old are normally the ones to have a heart rate of 80-120 when asleep.
