Millions of Navels

By Dr Graham Law, Retired Professor
We all have a part of the umbilical cord…your navel or tummy button. Since the 1960s, we had our cord clamped and cut within a few seconds known as “Early Cord Clamping” (ECC). But this was done despite little scientific research. Research, done by me and colleagues, asked 26 women to have their baby weighed for around 5 minutes after birth. We worked out how much weight was gained from blood. The statistical analysis showed that, after 2 minutes, the blood had stopped on average.
ECC has now been changed to “Deferred Cord Clamping” (DCC). Last year there were 132 million babies born. Many, if not most, waited after birth until clamping the cord for around 1 to 2 minutes using DCC. This is what the world does now. a strong impact.
