An Easier Way to Delay Cutting the Cord
Summary:
As we all know that in this life we are
all come from the same thing that is we grow up in our mom’s abdomen. The
delivery is something that is not that easy for the mother and the babies
because after keeping the baby for almost nine months that’s take more care
until the time come. After the delivery the only thing that connects the mother
and the baby is the cord. Which is that’s one of the stuff that doctors around
the world discus by cutting the cord immediately or keep in it. Some of the
doctors believe that keeping the cord is one way to allow
blood to continue flowing from the placenta, improving iron stores in the baby. However,
according to the article “An Easier Way to Delay Cutting the Cord” by Catherine Saint Louis says
that new study has found that it is probably unnecessary that
babies who were placed on their mothers’ stomachs before clamping fared just as
well as those who were held lower, the researchers found. The study made up for
194 babies that been pleased on their mother’s abdomen for a few minutes and
another 194 babies that been pleased in the low level of their mother’s vagina
for also a few minutes. Which all of these newborn babies still attached to
with their mothers through the cord. The result shows that the babies in the
first group whom are pleased in their mother’s abdomen gained 53 grams of blood
and the other group had gained 56 grams.
Finally, one of the reasons the practice hasn’t been more widely adopted
could be simply that holding a bloody, squirming newborn is cumbersome, said
Dr. Raju.
Analyze:
I think that the case
of baby delivery is one of
the hardest feeling that the mother’s face during this situation. What they
said of keeping the cord for few minutes that may really help both the mother
and the baby in healthy way. I agree that if they keep the cord between the
baby and the mother it may help them to feel healthier by moving the blood
between the mother and the baby. On other said, I believe that all the people
must cleansing the umbilical cord after a while because keep in it that will
may cause to some other disease in this area of the body. In the end, what dr.
Raju said is truth because they will think this well negative effects the baby
and the mother which make this idea did not run widely.
