WHO guidelines for delayed cord cutting
This is what client A came up with when asked: “When I was born, the umbilical cord came wrapped around my neck, so when I came out, I wasn’t breathing.

It was a crazy moment. When they finally cut off the cord, I felt relieved and free to breath…” Could you comment on this?
