If all is well, most babies cry immediately after birth. Most then quietly gaze with large open eyes at their surroundings before falling asleep. But some might stay awake and want to feed. If your baby seems ready, you can try breastfeeding within a few minutes of birth. Enjoy these first wondrous cries, they signal that your baby's respiratory and circulatory systems are making a successful transition from life inside your womb to life outside it. Newborns may continue to cry because they're shocked by the transition to the outside world. Every baby is different. Some might feel hungry or cold but aren't able to express it by crying. If your pediatrician has determined everything is fine with your newborn, they may simply still be learning how to cry. Still, as long as your baby's needs are met, there's no issue with them not crying as much. Newborn crying jags are inevitable. On any given day, a newborn might cry for up to two hours or even longer. Babies do indeed feel pain, and that they process it similarly to adults. Until as recently as the 1980s, researchers assumed newborns did not have fully developed pain receptors, and believed that any responses babies had to pokes or pricks were merely muscular reactions.  As quickly as possible, a new baby is placed in your arms. Often, the baby is placed skin-to-skin on your chest right after birth. Some babies will breastfeed right away. In the first hour or 2 after birth, most babies are in an alert, wide awake phase. Abstract. Vociferous, shrill, and piercing-the first cry of the newborn infant signals that a new and separate life has begun. Separated from the body of the mother, the newborn cry serves to call for care, support, and protection. Developing babies need oxygen beginning early in pregnancy. But a baby won't take their first breath until after birth. This means that babies don't truly breathe in the womb. Instead, the umbilical cord provides the baby with oxygen until the first breath. There are no nerve endings in your baby's cord, so it doesn't hurt when it is cut. What's left attached to your baby is called the umbilical stump, and it will soon fall off to reveal an adorable belly button. Your baby may have some of your blood on their skin and perhaps vernix, the greasy white substance that protects your baby's skin in the womb. If you prefer, you can ask the midwife to dry your baby and wrap them in a blanket before your cuddle. Mucus may need to be cleared out of your baby's nose and mouth. The first cry is critical to initiate successful transition from fetal circulation, where the baby is completely dependent on the mother and placenta for gas exchange, to life outside the womb where the baby must use its own lungs to sustain life.

After becoming a parent, you start seeing your former self and develop a new empathy for what you were when you were a child. Life turns upside down.They say that everything changes when you become a parent, but you really cannot understand until it happens to you. You start thinking of sterilising electronic devices, mobiles, remotes, in fact anything and everything around you. All you find across the hall are diapers and baby tissues.On a side note, you can use diapers as bookmarks and tissues to clean the dashboard of your car. When picking up another human to smell their butt is not only normal, but its necessery. And when she poops you do a silent dance. Once you have a baby, the biggest change is that you are responsible for another human being. It is not like feeling responsible for someone, you simply are responsible for your child. You get to see things through the eyes of an innocent child, with wonder and amazement, your perception towards life changes. No matter how worked up your body is, you can still pick up the 30 pounds of trouble with your hands and carry it around the home doing your daily chores.  Time is the change that happens when a baby comes into your life. It is no longer your own. You have no control over sleep or wake. You still need to go to a job, cook, clean, and manage chores, manage life inside and outside the home with even less time than you thought possible. Every waking moment revolved around the infant. Making coffee came after cleaning bottles, making formula, feeding baby, bathing baby, changing baby, dressing baby, getting baby to sleep or sit or swing so coffee could be made. There is new meaning to your life now that steals your top priority, someone who you cannot imagine living your life without, someone you have only known for a year or two but have the control over the rest of your life time. Basically, you have another human being dependent on your emotional and financial support as well as physical support for a meaningful part of your life. It can impact almost every decision you make, and that can be a truly burdensome but yet truly gratifying because you realize your decisions can have such a meaningful impact. It is the greatest thing a person can achieve as well as the most terrifying. It is what makes us human. One becomes something else. A ferocious protector, an over emotional wossy. Sure there are changes to your every day life, but that is just work. Feeding, changing dipers, singing, cuddling, but the big change is in you - psychologically. Suddenly someone is more important to you than you are. Indefinetly more important to you than your own life. There is a person, however miniscule, however useless, who becomes your whole world. Babies are the most magical, most annoying, most surprising tiny beings. The miracle of the family is not that adults make children, but that children make adults.
