The first breath after birth is triggered primarily by the transition from a fluid-filled environment to air. When a newborn is exposed to the air, the dramatic change in temperature and the stimulation of skin receptors encourage inhalation. Additionally, the increase in carbon dioxide levels in the blood, combined with the decrease in oxygen levels, stimulates the respiratory center in the brain, prompting the infant to take its first breath. This process is crucial for establishing independent respiration and oxygenation.

When you hold your breath for ten seconds and then breath for a minute after that why does your breathing rate increase?
