Umbilical Cord Milkingprocedure

At delivery, the umbilical cord is grasped, and blood is pushed toward the infant 4 times before the cord is clamped. This procedure infuses a placental transfusion of blood into the infant and can be done in 15-20 seconds.

Early Cord Clampingprocedure

The umbilical cord is clamped within 60 seconds of delivery.
