It can be quite hard to feel a baby's pulse but the best place is the brachial artery which is located on the inside of the arm just above the elbow (Where the elbow crease is) and it is usually found on the opposite side to the thumb. The best way is to use two fingers (not your own thumb as that has a pulse of its own) and just keep feeling around that area until you find it. It is also easier to feel if you can keep the baby's arm straight.
