Unfortunately can't get to the last article without paying 30 pound for it...

The interesting thing I notice is that all the other articles seem to talk about the benefits for preterm infants. What about a baby that is term?

I asked my Obs about this yesterday at my 38wk appt and she said that the baby can get too much cord blood and cause jaundice, as mentioned above by a PP.

She said that a new study is about to start at the Royal Women's about delaying the cord clamping for premmie babies, but that she said the evidence just isn't there to support delaying the clamping for term babies.
