Delayed Cord Clamping: The vast benefits of doing nothing for a little while
What is one of the first interventions we perform on a normal birth? What is so 'normal' that we don't even think of it as an intervention? Cutting the cord!
Dr. Greene is asking questions about this intervention... what is the evidence for immediate cord clamping? Here is a Twitter record of a Twitter chat last night on the case for delayed cord clamping. At the moment of birth one-third of the baby's blood is still in the umbilical cord or placenta. What are the potential negative effects of cutting the cord immediately? Read this rather sobering exchange to follow and then take ACTION by spreading the word.
RT @DrGreene: Interventions should have evidence! No evidence for first intervention - immediate stopping baby’s normal flow! #LTKH
A4: In some low-income countries as many as 95% of delivery clinicians practice immediate cord clamping. #LTKH
RT @DrGreene: A4: Doctors thought they were doing good by immediately clamping the cord. And exported the practice around the world. #LTKH

DrGreene I highly recommend reading Mercer's work. Here is an interview I did w/her in 2009 scienceandsensibility.org/?p=810 #LTKH

RT @DrGreene: 3: At the moment of birth 1/3 of the baby’s blood is still in the umbilical cord & placenta. #LTKH
A6: Other benefits of optimal cord clamping - The most significant impact of all may be stem cells, but we don’t know yet. #LTKH
RT @MsGreene: #TICCTOCC RT @morethanfoodinc: @DrGreene Important to address cause of anemia rather than band-aid w/ fortification of rice f#LTKH
RT @DrGreene: A4: Sadly today immediate cord clamping is the norm in most places, robbing baby of iron, O2 antibodies, & stem-cells. #LTKH

Pumani bubble CPAP
The Pumani bubble CPAP was engineered by a team at Rice University in Texas, working in collaboration with clinicians in Malawi. A range of specific design considerations made the Pumani especially appropriate for low-resource settings so that parts are easy to replace.
The MaternaWell Tray for PPH estimation now appears in key obstetric guidelines
A 'tray' is now mentioned in the FIGO/WHO/ICM Consolidated Postpartum Hemorrhage Guidelines published by in 2025, expanding the type of monitoring device from drape to drape or tray.
Is it ethical to separate mother and infant just after birth?
Immediate skin to skin care means less than ten minutes after the infant takes its first breath, the infant, naked except for a diaper, spends at least one hour on the mother’s chest, against her skin. It is recommended that preterm and low birth weight kangaroo care involve prolonging contact beyond the first hour for at least 8 hours per day or as long as possible (up to 24 hours) per day
