Why did doctor's used to slap the bottom of a baby after delivery?

This really isn't done anymore. However, it was done in the past because it was a way to drain fluid from the lungs. By giving the baby a "smack" it would shock the newborn into crying thus clearing the mucus out the lungs. Today, doctors will use a device with a suction to help clear the throat and lungs instead of slapping.

Your mom said when you were born the doctor hit you to get you to cry and breathe What does this mean Did the doctor hit you on the swaddling clothes or your diaper?
I suspect you are not a young person. Some years ago delivery staff would slap a baby's bottom (sometimes while holing the baby at the feet - upside down!) to encourage the baby to breathe. Today we use somewhat more humane methods: such as stroking and rubbing with a warm blanket. ANSWER ADD ON First of all, no doctor, would purposely hit a child. What they mean by this, is that they will rub, or cause some sort of stimulus or reaction to occur. If this doesn't occur, then they will start to do something a little bit different in order to insure that the breathing will start again.
