I did DCC with my dd2...she was born at 35 weeks (2210g).
She required minimal intervention, she spent only a few days in the nursery, BF day 2 and never needed a NGT and came home on day 6 with me.
She never had any jaundice at all...which is something more prevalent in prems.
I believe that DCC helped her...all that rich cord blood gave her that little boost to help.
