I mentioned delayed cord cutting to my doctor today, she said okay but that its basically a fad and has no real benefits for full term babies. Just wondering how everyone feels about this or if their doctors have said anything similar.

ya I've only heard of the benefits, so idk. plan on asking for it myself.
I still plan to do it, theres no reason not to, just wondered what others doctors feelings were on the subject. ☺
Hmm interesting. My doctor recommended it and pretty much did it automatically. I did the delayed clamping.
My baby was super late, about 2 weeks overdue and my doctors still recommended delayed cord clamping for the benefits. @rari pretty much covered the benefits
My doctor said it was proven to help keep babies from getting anemic, and helps protect against babies getting jaundiced as well. He said delayed cord clamping and cutting makes for more alert babies who are more likely to be interested in eating within the first hour too. So my doctor basically thinks its the best for babies.
My doctor said the same thing so we didn't delay with my daughter. My research mostly showed it was beneficial for premie babies.
That's the same thing my dr told me that once the cord is cut its serves no nutritional values
