jpelc - this is not true. In fact all the studies that have been coming out have been concluding that delayed cord clamping should be standard practice... makes you wonder why it's not... birth is an industry, nothing to do with the best for women and babies like you might think.

Anyone wanting to get their hands on loads of info/studies/articles on this click my facebook group in my signature about cord clamping. There are a huge load of them. There is also the article on BB.
