It can stay in there for two hours until the placenta drops. The baby will not start breathing unless you smack it or the placenta drops. You could smother an infant and you will not smother it. You could smother it, keep it from breathing after breathes for five minutes, take your hand off and it'll start breathing again.
It's used to not breathing it's whole life and it can go back into that very readily.
