    Are Doctors Causing Infant Brain Damage By Clamping Umbilical Cord Too Soon?

    “Without the burst of blood from the placenta, the infant suffers a drop in blood pressure as its lungs fail to open as they should, creating a chain reaction of effects that can include brain damage and lung damage. Immediate cord clamping can cause hypotension, hypovolemia and infant anemia, resulting in cognitive deficits. Some have even theorized that the rise in autism could be linked at least in part to early cord clamping.”

    1. Robyn says:

      We left the cord and placenta attached for 1+ hours with my second 2 children, and they are AMAZINGLY healthy. Much stronger than my first 2 babies. No jaundice, slept through the nights early, no nursing issues, no asthma, nothing. Who knows?

      It makes sense to me.
