********
I think I may have mentioned in my last baby bird update that I attended a breast feeding class, last Tuesday.

During that class it was said that delayed cord clamping can help baby, and mom multiple ways. Especially if you are going to be breast feeding.

So I asked my doctor yesterday, what her thoughts were on it, and how she felt about it, she said that she would do whatever I wanted to do as long as bb and I are fine, then said that the "latest" thing people are actually requesting, rather than a delayed cord clamp, was to milk the umbilical cord.
Has anyone heard anything on milking the cord vs. a regular delayed cord clamp?
