Hey!
Let's move on to its answer.
Adults if compared to infants on the process of breathing, are observed a bit slow. This can be because the infants grow at a really faster rate and for it, they need a lot of oxygen. The throwing out of CO2 from the body is also really fast. But as adults are already grown up, they don't need such high amount of gases.
It may also be because if we compare the capacity of both the lungs of infants and adults, adults will have comparatively larger lungs which truly means that the infants must breath a lot faster than the adults.

Explanation:
Newborns breath a lot faster than older babies, kids, and adults. On average, newborns younger than 6 months take about 40 breaths per minute. That looks pretty fast if you're watching them. Breathing may slow down to 20 breaths per minute while newborns sleep
