Re: Cord clamping (was ...)

Can't say as I have done or seen any bottom slapping - except on TV or in movies... Anyhow - even those that are very prompt at cord clamping still do it after the baby has taken a few deep breaths. After some suctioning of mucus, setting the baby wherever you set it (mom's belly, in the docs arms etc), wipe the baby down a bit - then grab the clamp... As we all realized (and I should not have done even that first comment) the poster was on her own crusade - and crusaders don't usually look at facts - just globalizations!

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
