Why childrens are crying at birth?

Question

Why childrens are crying at birth?

Answer 1

The crying instinct helps the infant to open their airways for the first time.  It could be the shock of feeling air through the nostrils and through the lungs is also strange to their system.  If a baby does not cry at birth, then they are not breathing at all.

Answer 3

Smiles, relief, congratulations and applause do not begin when a child is born - they start when it cries. Without crying, the room becomes increasingly silent and the mood increasingly apprehensive; and for good reason - crying is a very positive sign of a new, healthy life; its absence is anything but that. Many factors and complex interactions go into the production of the sound that announces joyful, healthy childbirth.

All babies are born soaking wet, and on meeting the atmosphere, the skin cools; this triggers two reflexes:

1. The cold crying reflex - cold, wet diapers produce the same result, crying.

2. The cold pressor reflex - cold skin raises blood pressure.

In order to cry, the child must first take a deep breath, and an inspiratory "gasp" is often the first sign, triggered by cold, that a child is going to cry or breathe. Contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles increase thoracic volume and create negative intra-thoracic pressure. Once air is in the lungs, another reflex is triggered that relaxes the pulmonary arterioles; this causes an enormous increase in pulmonary blood flow.
