Until recently, clamping and cutting the umbilical cord immediately after birth (within 30 seconds) was considered to be standard practice to allow urgent medical care to be given. Today, however, following extensive research, the practice of immediate clamping has largely been replaced by delayed cord clamping (DCC), which has been shown to have significant benefits for the infant and is now recommended in most circumstances.
