Why Do Babies Cry When They Are Just Born? by Nobody: 11:19am On Jul 28, 2016
It is a mind blowing experience watching a baby grow up from been an infant to adolescent. But one thing have always keep me wondering each time a baby is been bath for.

When you are washing up a baby during bath,the baby would start crying and at times pushing away your hand. Also at times when the baby see the bath bowl he would start crying and refuse to take his bath and at other times when a child see a medicine that you are about to give to him he would start crying or simply protest the punishment that was misconceived by his young mind by refusing to open his mouth.

There was a time a neighbour gave birth to a bouncing baby boy,even before the doc came to announced the good news,we all heard the crie's of the infant.

What can be the cause of the cry because I just couldn't figure out why or the reasons for the cry,afterall the baby is been cared for.

Any doc,nurse,midwife or paediatrician on nairaland reading this should please kindly proffer answers to my genuine questions. Thanks...

While in the womb, babies get oxygen from their mothers through the placenta.

When they are born and they cry, they take in oxygen and from there, they start breathing on their own for the first time.

That's why the first cry is so important and in the case where a baby doesn't cry, the doctors spank the baby's behind lightly to make it cry.

Babies cries immediately after birth because of two reasons
1. First time taking in oxygen.
2. Change of environment.

Well to me, the reason babies cry when they are given birth to, is becaus the blood in their mother's womb enters into their eyes, so the EYE COM DEY PEPE them. dats why they cry.

Actually, the first intake of oxygen oxidises the delicate linings of their respiratory apparatus, so the impulse reaction is to cry at the pain of the slight burning , which does not last long but normalises shortly afterwards.

To expel the amniotic fluid from the lungs, inflate the pulmonary parenchyma (lung structure) and initiate pulmonary vasodilation, shunting more blood to the lungs to carry oxygen. Holding the baby upside down helps with this. It is very important that the baby cries in the immediate period after it is born.
