Because I saw the other photo posted.

?? what a fool lol

Oh and the picture is just the baby with the placenta still attached.

Can't even use the right form of "chord/cord" and I'm supposed to believe them? ?

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works. lol

I agree with a delayed cord clamping within reason and when the placenta is done pulsating (between 5 and 30 minutes usually.)

But those claims are ridiculous. It is more of a nutritional thing. ?

Well isn't that excellent that delayed clamping will cure any chance of having mental/physical issues later in life.

I guess it doesn't cure the parents from knowing the difference between "no" and "know." Or "cord" and "chord."

I guess whoever wrote this had their "chord" clamped before it was done pulsating.

Ok so delayed cord clamping is standard practice here in Australia as long as there are no complications.

And while it does have amazing benefits this persons post is just stupid.

I guess you could say their claims haven't stuck a chord with me.

Wow.

Yes but that baby isn't doing skin to skin right this very moment, so they will obvs. Develop an attachment problem later in life!

This pic is completely moronic.

? @ttdub you can't be free of it all.

I'm fine if you want to do delayed cord clamping but to make all these claims is ridiculous. What happens if this baby ends up with any of the things mentioned? They're going to probably deny their kid has a problem and let him get sick or they will just look like idiots.

I thought all hospitals did delayed cord clamping now??

@andys

I'm not sure about the US. My daughter's was clamped pretty quickly after birth.

My midwife said all I have to do is request it though and they will do it. I'm aiming for at least 5 minutes.

I had to specifically ask them not to clamp the cord right away, to wait 15 min at least. they didn't respect my wishes and clamped and cut it right away.

Lol I can't take this seriously when they spelled all those words wrong. Plus... Eating disorder free? Mental disorder free? Uh no, delaying cord clamping is not going to prevent things like that, and I feel bad for this poor kid growing up with a parent that thinks it's now impossible for any of those things to develop in their child

But not ignorant momma free.

@brooke

Umm what???? ?

This is why her baby in under the light. My ob explained that if a baby is preterm, she will delay clamping. If the baby is term, she will slightly delay but if delayed too much the baby can become jaundice.

Black God? Cuckoo cuckoo. ?

@brook you sound like Kanye West.

Brooke I think your comment was cut off

People need to research before thinking this is not true... smh lol.

I am too sober for Brooke's comment.

@raven @brooke

Delayed cord clamping is not going to prevent ADHD, eating disorders, behavorial issues, mental disabilities, or learning issues.

I did my research on delayed cord clamping. My midwife (who works under a doctor) supports it. It is more for the red blood cells and nutrition purposes though. We aim for at least 5 minutes but will not approach 30 as long as the baby is born healthy.

Don't make those that support *logical* delayed clamping look like fruitcakes. Don't want you on this team. ?

Did she just call us cows? Was that a fat joke?

As soon as I realized this person was racist, the rest didn't matter!

(Yes when ethnicity is brought up like this, I do believe the person is racist. I'm sorry if that offends you!)

Though yes, I do absolutely believe in waiting to cut the cord.

Are you sure I'm on the losing team?

Take a deep look inside yourself.

Are. You. Really. Sure?

And I did try to read your entire comment, but cut me some slack, it was hard to get past that unintelligible mess.

Cthu brook im not even about to get worked up on people who dont know much about delaying the removal of the cord or lotus birth. But i will stand a 100 % behind my first comment..

Brooke, all I got from your comment is that you had a horse and you had to cut the cord between it and are somehow correlating that with a lotus birth. ?

*adjusts tinfoil crown*

Do yah wanna tussle?

Wait what horse? Did i miss something

See, @raven couldn't make it through your comment either. Take it easy on us.

Her horse committed suicide though..

??

Cthu!!

What's cthu?

Emmy you dont have to make it through any of my comments .. i didnt mention you in it.. lol

I didn't know what "cthu" meant and I googled it and it autocorrected to Cthulhu, a subject I'm much more comfortable with.

I think it's "chut the hell up" ? ?

Wtf is a chut?

I googled it and got "Cleveland heights teachers union"

No wait, that's not right.

I googled chtu ??

Sorry emmy i didnt see the ? In time.. but you got it :)

I think this is from the same dude I saw someone share on Facebook. They left the placenta attached for days and didn't get a birth certificate. I went to his page and dude is f*** ing crazy and definitely racist. Stevie Jordan I think.

Lmboo yall are funny... Cracking the hell up

To address the original post, I did delayed cord clamping with both of my babies.. But people like this give practices like delayed clamping a bad name and give the rest of us a "nutso" stereotype.

Herd the cattle? I think you mean sheep if you were trying to imply we go wherever someone pushes us. Cows can much more independently minded. Obnoxiously so when it comes to their calves, in fact.
