In lay termsβ¦.
Crying at birth actually makes air circulate through the babyβs lungs, more like switching it onπ
Now if a baby doesnβt cry, oxygen will not flow in and these can cause damage to some organs and the brain.
If the brain is damaged, the baby can end up having cerebral palsy and maybe some delayed developmental milestones that is, the baby will not, roll, crawl, sit when it is timeβ¦.
And of course if air doesnβt flow in, it ca also lead to d**th
At this point if the baby doesn't cry, whatβs gonna happen?π€
