Anyone know if 55-60 bpm is too low for a *toddler* during sleep?

how old is the toddler, age does make a difference
my 4 year old heart rate I was told should not go really below 60bpm while asleep

i would get that checked out mine went below 52bpm and i was admitted into hospital, but i'm 28, a child's heart beat is normally faster,chances are he is just too relaxed during sleep but it will put your mind at rest if you follow it up with your health visitor or gp. hope this helps.x.

I just found in my pediatric book, it was giving to me by my son's cardiologist, that a noraml resting(seeping) heart rate for a child between the ages of 2-10 is 60-10 BPM resting (awake) should be 70-110 and exercise and fever can go up to 180.
can I ask was there anything that happened taht made you check. like did he have any symptoms of anything.
My son's heart rate while sleeping had gone down to 48. they say that if they aren't symptomatic of anything like dizziness or passing out then they don't worry. I mean my little man's heart rate just sitting has gone over 181-200. and he is in normal sinus rythm. now we had an episode hwere his hr went from 110 down to 48 when he was a wake they asked me several question and tey said that since he passed out he just bought himself a pace maker if he didn't pass out then they would not worry about it.
I guess what I am saying is if your little bundle of joy is not syptomatic of anyhting then it is proablly okay.
my little man has other issues.
I agree it wouldn't hurt to get it checked out just to make sure.
and one last thing ALWAYS ALWAYS go with oyur gut instinct. most of the time a parent's gut insticnt is right.
good luck
michelle
