I often tell clients and friends that they should wait at least until the umbilical cord stops pulsating before clamping and cutting. This New York Times article writes of a study that has found among infants whose cord clamping was delayed a higher percentage of iron at four months.

Benefits of Delayed Cord Clamping
The Baby Project
The Baby Project was an NPR blogging project that followed women throughout their pregnancies until their births this past summer (2011). It is full of lovely and informational blogs from these expectant mothers experiences. From how to turn a breech baby to how "it" is going to come out of "there," this blog covers it all. Read it with an open mind and no judgement as these are other women's stories and we are all different.
