Sombody should shed more light on ds

for blood carrying oxygen to flow to the brain. any delay can cause brain damage.
it serves the same purpose as inducing crying which also takes oxygen to the brain as the baby draws in air while crying

I don't think that doctors slap babies after birth . This used to be an old practice if the baby failed to cry immediately after birth. The doctor would hold the baby upside down and slap its butt softly to stimulate it to cry and take its first breath on its own . The upside down position wouldhelp in draining out the amniotic fluid .But probably now doctors have realised that this isnt compulsory as such and rubbing with a soft towel or just tickling the babies feet is sufficient to stimulate it to cry.The amniotic fluid is a very sticky fluidand that would make the baby really slippery. And holding a slippery baby upside down is a risky thing to do . I think this practice is practically obsolete , but you can still see it sometimes in half-researched medical dramas and movies .
