S5 Ep 09 - Optimal cord clamping with Amanda Burleigh

In this episode I chat to midwife, nurse and campaigner Amanda Burleigh, who has fought tirelessly to introduce optimal cord clamping as standard practice in the birth room. Amanda founded the “wait for white” campaign and has spoken on the topic widely as well as campaigned for change in NHS trusts up and down the country. We discuss what IS optimal cord clamping, why delayed cord clamping isn’t the same thing, the benefits of waiting for white, and debunking some misconceptions around the perceived risks of waiting to cut the umbilical cord.
