A new paper supports an age-old midwifery practice of delayed cord clamping after birth.

Iron stores and hemoglobin levels were improved in newborns when clamping was delayed for at least one minute.

Stem cells are transferred through the cord and are the best protection against neonatal hemorrhage. Nature knows what it’s doing.

Insist on delayed clamping until after the cord has stopped pulsing and forget about cord blood banking. Your baby needs those stem cells now!

Read the abstract of the study on delayed cord clamping yourself.
