When that happens, the baby misses out on a crucial transfusion of blood, oxygen, nutrients, and protective cells \u2014 just when they need it most.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Iron stores and long-term health<\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">One of the most important reasons to delay cord clamping is the boost in iron stores, which play a critical role in early development.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Did you know that between 6\u201312 months of age, babies actually require more daily iron (11 mg) than an adult male (8 mg)? That\u2019s why iron-rich foods are so emphasized when starting solids.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Diet isn\u2019t the only factor, though. Babies who receive delayed cord clamping are far better equipped from the start.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">According to a Cochrane Review, babies who undergo immediate cord clamping are:<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">As the review states:<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cThere is growing evidence that delaying cord clamping confers improved iron status in infants up to six months post birth.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Other benefits of delayed cord clamping<\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Studies also show that babies who experience delayed cord clamping have a significantly higher birth weight \u2014 on average, 101 grams more than those whose cords were clamped immediately.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">That\u2019s because delayed cord clamping provides babies with up to a third of their total blood volume. This vital transfer includes:<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Oxygen to vital organs<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Vitamins, minerals, and nutrients<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Red and white blood cells<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Immune cells and stem cells<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">In fact, immediate cord clamping can leave a baby with up to 30% less of these essential cells.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">There are maternal benefits too, including a shortened third stage of labor and a reduced risk of retained placenta.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Image of an unclamped cord over 15 minutes <\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.agent=\"plsquarespace\";n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');fbq('init', '289182321505966');fbq('track', \"PageView\");<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The placenta\u2019s final surge We all know the placenta is the lifeline that nourishes your baby throughout pregnancy, but many people don\u2019t realize that this incredible organ offers one final, powerful surge after birth.
