I heard about the increased risk of jaundice too, but not until I had already had DS. We delayed clamping with DS and ended up taking him to the GP at 2 weeks old at the request of the child health nurse. His bilirubin (sp?) levels came back pretty high so we went back to hospital for him to go under the fluro lights. Phototherapy is it called? We were just there for one night, it wasn't till that next morning till I realised how orange he had been Whether or not the delayed clamping would have caused it I guess we would never know, but thought its worth sharing with you anyway
