what exactly happens to a newborn baby that cues them to take their first breath of air? When exactly does it happen?

Tying this in: we mammals have a reflex where when our face is submerged in water, we won’t take a breath. When free divers surface and black out, their dive buddy blows air on their cheeks which stimulates their system to take a breath.
Is called the mammalian dive reflex.
