Break-through for delayed cord clamping of umbilical cord/placenta

“At 4 years of age, children in the early umbilical cord clamping group had modestly lower scores in social and fine motor domains compared with the delayed umbilical cord clamping group”.

Of course we are very proud to have been able to provide research that has contributed to change the practice of umbilical cord clamping on term infants in US. Still, I believe that 30-60 seconds is too short time to wait, and we will be able to show evidence on this early in 2017.
