About delayed cord clamping

How does it work?

After a baby is born, the umbilical cord is clamped and cut. Some parents leave the umbilical cord attached for a certain amount of time prior to clamping, allowing more time for the cord blood to flow to their baby. While the opinions on optimal timing vary, it's always recommended to consult with your healthcare provider about your family's specific situation.

The best of both opportunities

CBR has the tools to help you preserve your baby’s cord blood and delay cord clamping. In our experience, healthcare providers have been able to collect a sufficient volume of cord blood for storage even when practicing delayed cord clamping.141

What does the science say?

As part of CBR's Quality Standard, we perform testing on every cord blood sample. Our Newborn Stem Cell Educators are available to discuss your family's options in the event that a cell count does not meet our standards.

In addition, families can preserve their baby's cord tissue, which is unaffected by delayed cord clamping.

This study from the New York Blood Center (the largest donor bank in the U.S.) indicates that delayed cord clamping of 30-60 seconds does not significantly diminish the cell count of cord blood collected for cryopreservation at a public cord blood bank.

What are parents saying?

How long should I delay clamping?

Each mom and baby is unique. Talk to your healthcare provider about the right timing and what is best for your family.

"These families should know that it is possible to bank cord blood even if cord clamping is delayed."
