delayed umbilical cord clamping
at birth, the clamping of the umbilical cord will be delayed 30 to 45 seconds while the child is held lower than the placenta. At the end of the time, the cord is milked once and the cord is clamped. If the obstetrician feels he cannot delay the cord clamping, then the cord can be milked 2 to 3 times.
Immediate cord clamping
The umbilical cord is cut within 10 seconds after birth
