"The benefits of delayed clamping are well documented. Immediate cord clamping is now being compared with blood-letting. However neonates who are compromised or require resuscitation and desperately need all their blood almost always get their cord severed immediately. In spite of research saying otherwise, it’s still common practice at most births to immediately sever the cord, usually due to outdated theories or habit. As more parents request delayed clamping, newborns are more likely to receive their full volume of blood."
