Magical Child: Q about umbilical cords...

[MommaHeather]

I am reading the Book Magical Child by Joseph Chilton Pearce. I just finished reading a part about how children suffer when the umbilical cord is cut too soon. I'd have to look it up, but I think he says it takes babies about 8 minutes, because the baby needs time to adjust their lungs, and are not getting oxygen to their brain. That is why doctors spank babies, to make them cry so their lungs start working.

Does anyone have experience or knowledge about the umbilical cord and when to cut, etc?

Thanks!

Hmm.... I'd never heard about that. My dd's umbilical cord was really short sp the doctors actually sat there for a while waiting for more slack. lol. She was crying before they cut it.
