Wait as long as possible to tie & cut the umbilical cord When the cord is pulseless white and bloodless. Baby has received the oxygen and blood containing the newborns natural immune spectrum.

*The newborn at the time of birth is in a double respiratory state. Baby continues being nurtured by the placenta. Receiving oxygen blood and nutrients through the umbilical cord. His lungs are not fully activated yet, he gradually starts breathing air through his nose and then, in ease activates his lungs.

At the hospital ? Ask for your placenta and send or take it home with you.. placenta can be encapsulated for new mother and or plant it under a tree.💚 can be frozen until it’s time to plant a tree 🌲.

Researchers found that a couple of extra minutes attached to the umbilical cord at birth may translate into a small boost in neurodevelopment several years later. Children whose cords were cut more than three minutes after birth had higher social skills and fine motor skills than those whose cords were cut within 10 seconds.

Iron in the body is critical for healthy brain development. The natural transfusion of blood via delayed cord clamping delivers a substantial amount of iron.

One study found that waiting two minutes increased iron stores by 27-47 mg. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, waiting three minutes may prevent iron deficiency during the first year of life.

Approximately one-third of its total blood volume resides in the placenta. This is equal to the volume of blood that will be needed to fully perfuse the fetal lungs, liver, and kidneys at birth.

Another potential benefit of delayed cord clamping is to ensure that the baby can receive the complete amount of clotting factors. Basically the increased volume of blood will naturally increase blood platelet levels, which are needed for normal blood clotting.

Delayed clamping also results in an infusion of stem cells. This plays an essential role in the development of the immune, respiratory, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems. Along with many other functions. The concentration of stem cells in fetal blood is higher than at any other time of life.

Immediate cord clamping leaves nearly one-third of these critical cells in the placenta. Stem cells may also help repair any brain damage the baby might have suffered during a difficult birth. Why do you think hospitals want to bank/buy cord blood so often? It can be used to help with so many things!

Delayed cord clamping is SOOOOO important. Not just delaying a few minutes. That’s better than nothing, yes. But delay until the cord is no longer pulsing and is white. That’s ideal for baby to get all the good stuff.
