there isn't any evidence that delaying cord clamping for longer than 60 seconds gives the baby more benefits than delaying cord clamping for 30-60 seconds

- msrenee 5y agoI feel like someone whose business is freezing cord blood should probably cite some sources when discussing guidelines for delayed cord clamping, which reduces the amount of blood left in the umbilical cord. Honestly, I don't know much about it and you could very well be right, but it seems like a conflict of interest.
- pkukp9 5y agoCheck out the question “ How long should you delay cord clamping?” At https://health.clevelandclinic.org/what-you-should-know-about-delayed-cord-clamping-after-birth/ https://health.clevelandclinic.org/what-you-should-know-abou... :)
- msrenee 5y agoThanks for the reference! Glad to see I was just being overly cynical.
- pkukp9 5y agoAlso we don’t dislike delayed cord clamping - our parents delay for max two mins! :)
