I just wanted to say that delayed cord clamping does not lead to blood draining back through the cord causing anaemia. This is not true, there are many studied to indicate that delayed cord clamping actually can reduce incidence of anaemia and lead to higher blood volume due to the extra blood that the baby recieves through the cord as it continues pulsing until the placental transfusion is complete when the cord then becomes white. This is one of the benefits of delayed cord clamping. The crying of the baby help to regulate the placental transfusion.
