    I read an article about this too, but It was more saying that it was a bit of a myth? wish I could remember where/what it was from!

    My DS didnt have delayed cord clamping (ECS) my nephew also didnt and both had pretty bad jaundice (borderline as to lights being used or not, ended up not)

    Both DS and DD1 were jaundiced - no delayed clamping obviously due to c-section.

    DD2 - delayed cord clamping - no jaundice

    On FB there is a group called " leaving a babys cord to stop pulsating(delayed cord clamping) which is where I am sure I read the article I was referring to.

    this a quote from the author of the page "Jaundice is often used as an argument against DCC, even though there has never been any randomized study evaluating the risks of severe jaundice in relation to the time of cord clamping.
    What if jaundice is caused by poor breastfeeding? And is it really a health problem? Read this interesting article by Slovakian lactation consultant ´Viera Červená, and see what you think. "
    https://sites.google.com/site/proble...cle-in-english that is the article they are referring to.

    Im not sure but have a look through the links, there may well be some more info in there on this group.

    DD1 was clamped immediately = she got jaundice

    DD2 had delayed cord clamping = no jaundice.

    so from my vast research i would say....total beat up

    delay the clamping babe! it is so amazing how their little bodies just take all that stuff in!
