    Isn't it when the cord stops pulsating?

    It is really up to you. Even a few minutes makes a difference. Generally waiting until the cord stops pulsating is considered best practise.

    Another option is lotus birth.

    We've waited for the cord to stop pulsating which has been around 30-45 mins

    Catherine i just googled Lotus Birth as i had heard about it several times on here but didn't know anything about it and each to there own but it doesn't appeal to me.

    Guess it depends alot on how long the cord is and if baby can breastfeed straight away.

    Lisa thanks
