Is right to say she gave birth to a bouncing baby? What about a sound baby?

Bouncing, healthy, sturdy, handsome,cute, cherished, strong, darling, adorable are all words I've seen or heard to describe a newborn boy. "Sound" is a medical diagnosis. Sound lungs, sound body, sound mind. Sound means strong, healthy.
Sorry, "sound" lacks something. It has no emotion. The Gyn who delivered the child might smile when he uses the word, so might the Pediatrician. Wouldn't use it on a baby birth announcement.

Bouncing is used in the older sense here. A bouncing baby means it is big and healthy, not that it rebounds when you drop it on a hard surface.

I think so!
1)the baby must fall to bounce
2)every baby(most babies) cry coming to this world.
So I think it is right to say so!

Does a baby exhibit the characteristics of being "sound"? I don't think we know yet- til it starts speaking.
