Delayed cord clamping is a topic that is often brought up in class. These articles are in favor of waiting to clamp the cord as opposed to immediate cord clamping. Evidence shows that waiting to clamp and cut the cord can have a very positive impact on preterm babies and also babies who are born to low iron mothers. There is no harm in waiting, only that it takes a little time, so why not let all babies reap the benefits of delayed cord clamping?
