why do babies cry when they are newly born instead of laughing?

It surprises me why newborn babies cry when they are just born .A visitor going to a new place will normally smile or show a sign of love when visiting a new land But children don,t do that instead they burst out crying . Who beats them from their mother,s womb?

    delivery is a painful experiance. in basic terms think of each and all the bones get squished up and moved around whilst going via the birthing canal. Plus while born toddler has come from a heat dark place via the canal to a bright chilly place. additionally toddler hasn't found out the thank you to smile not to indicate snicker yet. it somewhat is a few thing we as dad and mom instruct our toddlers.
