I just read something interesting; the practice of cutting the umbilical cord immediately after birth is a very new practice. Just around for a few decades. And by not allowing the 40-50 minutes it takes for the placenta to naturally detatch, we arent giving the babys heart and lungs time to adjust to the outside world (there is literally a hole within the heart that seals up immediately after birth to accomodate air breathing vs umbilical resperstion), were putting wayyy lots of unnecessary stress on their little bodies. Interesting.
