My daughter is very small for her age, as I was laying with her tonight I noticed I was able to see her heart beating. She shows no s/s of cardiac distress, pulses palpable in all extremities, no edema or discoloration of skin, capillary refill wnl. She isn t dizzy or lightheaded and neuro checks are also wnl. Is this a common occurance?
Hi, This is common if baby is thin and lean having less musculature on chest. Heart beating can be observed transmitted through thin chest wall. As all parameters are normal nothing to worry. Ok and take care.
