Baby should cry immediately after birth, if not it’s labelled as perinatal depression.It’s related to neurological activity (brain activity). If your baby is accepting feeding well, spontaneously moving his/her limbs, crying for feeding then you need not to worry as it indicates that his/her brain functioning is good.
Next Steps
If your baby is not accepting feeds well, not much active then you need to consult a Pediatrician
