Random thoughts, musings, and stuff from a feminist with a boy child and a husband who believes that the very best thing that she can do for the next generation is raise a sane man-child. And yes, by "sane" I do mean feminist and anti-racist.

Delay Cutting the Umbilical Cord

Here's one for the good guys - delays in cutting umbilical cords are shown to be extremely beneficial to preemie newborns.

The birth activist community recommends delaying cutting the umbilical cord until it stops pulsing. Perhaps that pulsing indicates that it's still doing some of its important work and ought to be left alone to do so. Hmmmmm?
