Expert-Designed cord clamping bundle aims to boost Mother-Baby bonding and breastfeeding
NCT ID NCT07701434
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a standardized cord clamping bundle — developed through expert consensus — improves outcomes for first-time mothers and their healthy newborns after vaginal delivery. The bundle includes delayed cord clamping (until pulsations stop), sterile technique, and dry cord care. Researchers compare it to routine care, measuring mother-infant bonding, breastfeeding success, bleeding, and recovery within the first 24 hours after birth.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a standardized cord clamping bundle including delayed clamping, sterile technique, and dry cord care
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this bundle could become a simple, low-cost way to improve bonding, breastfeeding success, and recovery for mothers and newborns after vaginal delivery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial with 100 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The bundle may not show significant benefits over routine care.
