Does waiting longer to cut the cord help babies and moms?

NCT ID NCT03844490

Summary

This study aimed to find the best time to clamp the umbilical cord after a normal birth. Researchers compared clamping 1-3 minutes after delivery with waiting until the cord stops pulsing naturally. They measured effects on the newborn's health, like iron levels and jaundice, and on the mother's blood loss after delivery.
