Meconium and Delayed Cord Clamping

“Babies with meconium who are born in the hospital can be at a disadvantage because the hospital routine involves cutting the cord immediately and passing the meconium stained baby over to the pediatric nurse or dr. Cutting the cord forces the baby to inspire into the lungs deeply and leads to induced fetal distress–the unwanted problem.”

    My baby had meconium and thanks to my Dr not letting her take her first full breath they were able to get most if not all of the meconium. She is in the nicu since Wed and has progressed beautifully since then she has been taken off
    her oxygen the iv and antibiotics. They are going to watch her feeding for the next few days and should be home Tues or Wed.
