Hello,
A pulse of 50 is not to be taken lightly. I suggest you take the baby to the hospital back and get an ECG done, please. Only if this is normal, we can rest assured and it is all the more important as the baby has a heart murmur.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
