A bit more context. When the baby comes out it usually comes out head first. That means the baby’s head and face will come out before the rest of the body. But what I want to know is why when the entire head and face is out but not the body it dosent dosen’t cry but when the entire body comes out it starts crying. Sorry for weird wording, I’m not that good at explaining stuff. Also sorry if this is against the rules. It’s not my intent to be weird or anything, I’m just curious.

Basically by the time the head and neck is out, they pull the shoulders out and the whole things out. It’s the crowning and the getting to that point that takes forever. It’s not like there’s a baby head and neck sticking out for any real period of time. And the babies cry basically as soon as their lungs can suck in air and allow them to cry. So sometime they do make noise while still being pulled from the birth canal.
Also not all babies cry on their own. Most do, because of the shock of the cold air and whatnot and the whole birth process, but some don’t. Hence the idea that a dr had to slap you on your bottom to get you to cry back in the day to see if you had healthy lungs.
I’m not a dr and only have one kid but she came out of me and I have hella friends with kids so this is how it works *to my understanding*.
