What’s the science behind my baby’s first cry?

After taking his first gasp of air, an amazing chain-reaction of miraculous biological upheavals begins inside your newborn’s body within one or two minutes. Inflating his lungs causes pressure changes in his whole circulatory system, so that blood floods into the lungs and liver, and the heart’s four chambers are re-triggered. It is comprehended the increased pressure in these organs then collapses the defunct umbilical blood vessels that bypassed those organs, and these now redundant blood vessels will eventually waste away. Due to the level of catecholamines, adrenaline and noradrenaline in a newborn’s system after a natural birth (20 times higher than in an adult), they can initially be extremely alert.
