I saw a reel on how african doctors will slap the baby for them to cry and i know for a fact that this is true and there must be a reason behind it but i just don’t get it

My son had the cord wrapped around his neck so they took my wife in for an emergency c-section. Obviously everyone was very scared and having heard about the whole baby crying = breathing thing before all I could think from behind my little curtain was “please start crying, please start crying”. A few minutes go by and I’m freaking out more than I ever have in my life then the doctor pops his head back behind the curtain and in the most casual tone says “k so everything is fine, he’s breathing normally but… he really just doesn’t want to cry?” They did a full check up and xray’d his chest and everything and there was nothing wrong. He didn’t cry for like 3 days.
The one time you absolutely want to hear a baby cry and the dude was just like cool is this party over can we go home now?
