“This is a violation of rights to the infant, the owner of the cord blood, the baby. No one, not even the mother, has legal rights to deprive the infant of its own blood, at its time of birth. Not without a Court authorizing when the baby can be endangered.
DNA confirms the cord blood in the placenta to be the infa...nt's, not the mothers, and the placenta cells to be also confirmed the organ belongs to the infant, not the mother.
The rights of deprivation are a criminal assault on the infant and certainly civil consequences to the doctor and nurse and hospital, permitting criminal medical practice to take place, must be dealt with in due process of law. This involves the criminal act of medical malpractice. “Read More

At Darlington Memorial Hospital, UK, resuscitation is performed with the placental circulation intact.
“If an ambubag were available resuscitation could be initiated immediately and during this time blood will have the opportunity to return from the placenta. It may be helpful to encourage this return by vigorously... milking the cord towards the baby as observed by Aristotle. It is possible that firm milking of the umbilical arteries towards the baby could act like a supplementary heart. “ -- David J R Hutchon, Obstetrician, Memorial Hospital, DarlingtonRead More

"Frequently the child appears to be born dead, when it is feeble and when, before the tying of the cord, a flux of blood occurs into the cord and adjacent parts. Some nurses who have already acquired skill squeeze (the blood) back out of the cord (into the child’s body) and at once the baby, who had previously been as ...if drained of blood, comes to life again". -- Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)

“We must keep in mind that it is between the birth of the baby and the delivery of the placenta that a woman has the capacity to release the highest possible peak of the hormone oxytocin. The release of oxytocin is always highly dependent on environmental factors. The main condition, in the particular case of the third... stage of labour, is that the mother has nothing else to do than to look at the baby's eyes and to feel the contact with the baby's skin...in complete privacy, without any distraction. Clamping the cord or trying to detect the time when the cord stops pulsating are powerful distractions that 'brings back to our planet' a woman who had 'forgotten the rest of the world'. “ --Michel OdentRead More

"Newborn lungs exist in a “compacted state” suitable for the womb. When the infant is born, the placenta and umbilical cord pulse for up to 20 minutes, delivering a burst of blood volume to the infant’s system. This blood burst is just what is needed for the lungs of the newborn to expand.

The risk of jaundice has during decades been obstetrics’ most common pretext for early cord clamping.
And here´s Sarah Buckley's approach to jaundice:
“Jaundice is almost certain when a baby gets his or her full quota of blood, and is caused by the breakdown of the normal excess of blood to produce bilirubin, the pi...gment that causes the yellow appearance of a jaundiced baby. There is, however, no evidence of adverse effects from this.. One author has proposed that jaundice, which is present in almost all human infants to some extent, and which is often prolonged by breastfeeding, may actually be beneficial because of the anti-oxidant properties of bilirubin.”Read More

Labour doesn't end with the birth of your baby, but the third stage, or, the birth of the placenta. The management of this stage of labour has more importance than you might think and is definitely something to look into for both you and your baby's health.
