As a former doctor (name withheld), I'd like to tell you something...
In the "maternity hospital" there is a tacit and unofficial rule for the immediate cutting of the umbilical cord applies. But you are not obliged to do so!
This happens because the newborn is in a state of double breathing at the time of birth. First, it receives oxygen and nutrients through the umbilical cord. His lungs are not yet fully activated, he gradually starts breathing air through his nose and then slowly activates his lungs. What do "doctors" do? Immediately after birth, the umbilical cord is cut, which closes the supply of oxygen and nutrients. The baby swallows itself, begins to breathe deeply and tries to activate the lungs: it hurts! Blood from the placenta must also go to the baby!
If the umbilical cord is directly cut, the baby does not have enough blood immediately after birth. However, the blood in the placenta contains the baby's natural immune spectrum. In other words: if the umbilical cord is immediately cut, a part of the baby's natural immunity is deliberately denied.
Why ? Such a child, who does not achieve full immunity at first, is likely to have many health problems throughout his life. This, in turn, means that 'medical' parents can now tell that the baby now needs toothpaste, pills, bottle feeding and surgery. The more children and unhealthy people, the more patient-patient "medicine". Nothing personal, just business.
The umbilical cord must NOT be cut for 1 HOUR AFTER BIRTH. "Doctors" don't think about it. For good fictitious reasons they want it to end as soon as possible. The medical practice wants the umbilical cord and the placenta to remain as cool as possible.
Now the question: why do medicines need a new placenta and umbilical cord? Their fabrics are used to make expensive medical and cosmetic preparations. This is one of the main reasons why medical practices do not want people to deliver at home in a comfortable and trusting environment. If more and more people would do it, medicine would lose a major revenue source. "

My daughter went into labor at Blainville birth center and the baby stayed with her for over an hour, still connected to the placenta via the umbilical cord. When we cut it, the rope was white and bloodless. The child got everything he needed. I buried the placenta under a tree on my land to create a connection between the baby and Mother Earth.
Interesting, didn't know that re when to cut umbilical cord. Would be interested in any knowledge you have of benefits of the Mother consuming the placenta, as happens throughout the animal world. Would that also help immune systems for the infant via the Mother's breast milk if she eats it? I suspect yes but with modern food sources, not really necessary perhaps. I will defer to your expert advice.
