    One view that obs often say is that by not having the injection there might be a higher risk of the baby becoming jaundiced due to the high amount of red blood cells that bub has to break down. So that may be one thing that comes up when delayed cord clamping is discussed with your ob.

    Good on you for really looking into it, so you can make the best your for you and bubs.

    All the best
