What is the Impact of Delayed Cord Clamping on Neonatal Immunity?
Delayed cord clamping (DCC) has been shown to improve neonatal immune function. By allowing more blood to transfer from the placenta to the neonate, DCC increases the levels of hematopoietic stem cells, which are crucial for developing a robust immune system. This practice also enhances iron stores, which are vital for immune cell function.
