opinions on cutting umbilical cords after birth?
I've been doing research since I found out I'm pregnant and I think the benefits far outweigh any 'risk' with letting the cord not be cut for a few minutes after birth. Not necessarily hours or anything, I think that's a bit excessive, in my opinion. There is no added benefit to leaving the cord on after it has stopped pulsating. At least no benefits I have found in my research. But I'm curious, what other moms think? Or has anyone here left the cord uncut and can share their experiences? Do you think it matters, personally?
