Due to feedback on part 1 Dayna gets more specific about the topic and addresses some key points.

Here's the literature:

The study and article Dayna directly refers to in the episode - https://www.thewomens.org.au/news/could-delayed-cord-clamping-help-babies-who-fail-to-breathe

A lil' somethin' something' extra easy to read - https://www.hudson.org.au/news/early-cord-clamping-could-save-lives/

Although the definition for delayed cord clamping in this particular study is after 1 minute of birth (and that's delayed?) as opposed to immediately, the findings show that single minute has a positive effect - https://ijponline.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13052-020-00835-2

Research conducted to conclude ground breaking news that "delayed cord clamping increases early haemoglobin concentrations and iron stores in infants", by allowing more time for their own blood to be returned to their body circulation, can be found here -> https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD004074.pub3/full#CD004074-sec-0097


There's plenty of more information out there, so keep on researching.
