this is a reflex that babies develop BEFORE birth. they are learning how to breathe because once the umbilical cord is cut they are on their own. when they are born they enter air and are no longer in the water that covered them. with an umbilical cord their is no need to breathe air in the womb for their is none but when babies emerge to the world they start crying right away to practice their breathing. we all did this when we were newborns. babies are just "testing" to see if their lungs are working and ready to be used. that is why when a baby does not cry immediately doctors start to worry and rub their backs tp rty to get them to react and start crying.
