when does a baby take their first breath?
about 10 seconds after delivery
at birth, the baby's lungs are filled with fluid secreted by the lungs and are not inflated. after birth the infant's central nervous system reacts to the sudden change in temperature and environment. this triggers the first breath, within about 10 seconds after delivery. before birth, the lungs are filled with fetal lung fluid. after the first breath, the fluid is quickly absorbed into the body or exhaled. the resistance in the lung's blood vessels decreases giving an increased surface area for gas exchange, and the lungs begin to breathe spontaneously. this accompanies other changes which result in an increased amount of blood entering the lung tissues.
