Cord Blood Stem Cells Information

cord blood?

does anybody know about information on the benefits (to baby) of delaying clamping of the umbilical cord until after it has stopped pulsing. also can i ask this of the staff at hospital when i give birth or is it policy for them to clamp and cut as soon as possible.

1. You can ask the hospital to do that, however don't be upset if something would go wrong that they would need to clamp it right away and take the baby to the warmer for whatever is going on..as for info http://www.gentlebirth.org/archives/cordIssues.html#Silly http://www.birthofafamily.com/research/options/Cord_Clamping-birthsource.htm just goggle it
