Many intelligent contributors to the above websites question the safety of umbilical
cord clamping.  How can medical experts continue advocating for immediate
disconnection of the infant from maternal oxygenation at birth?

damage that can occur from umbilical cord clamping before the first breath.  I brought
a physically perfect son to term, but accepted obstetric practice turned him into the
ghost of the person he would have been.
