Are you doing delayed cord clamping for your baby?

Question

Just wondering who is doing that? I am still learning about it but I do not know too much about it.

Answer

We’re delaying until the cord stops pulsing, which is standard in our hospital. I don’t see a reason to delay beyond that.

Answer

Absolutely! It’s the best thing for the baby and is pretty standard in hospitals these days 🙌🏻

Answer

Yes!! And I’m waiting on the first bath also

Answer

it’s routine to do delayed cord clamping at the hospital where i will deliver even if you don’t ask

Answer

My hospital does 1 min delayed clamping. I had asked about it with my first and they said yes they do but only 1 min bc they had seen longer than one min the chances of jaundice go up significantly. I was okay with that and that’s what they did for my prior 2 kiddos.

Answer

Will be delaying until it stops pumping blood. With my first the hospital said they did delayed clamping which to them was apparently like 30 seconds? So I would clarify with your care team what that means to them before hand

Answer

Absolutely! The amount of blood that the chord provides to the baby while pulsing is outrageous. When I did my research and Informed myself about all that I had no excuse to not delay chord clamp.
