In this episode Shellie and Kemi dive into the anatomy of the umbilical cord, speak about the blood flow through placentas and how the levels in babies blood change due to the transition to live outside of the uterus and what this can mean. We debunk some cord myths, highlight the increased safety for mothers and babies in leaving the cord the F alone to do what it needs to do.

Let's stop the ritual blood letting and focus on the whole health of parents and babies.

We speak about some things that you may or may not want to do with your baby's placenta and cord after birth.
