Delayed Cord Clamping, from a physician's perspective

I can't do this article justice with a nutshell, but it is a good one to give to an OB who doesn't see why not to cut baby's cord immediately. Dr. Nicholas Fogelson, an OB/GYN, writes to an audience of doctors about his personal experience with early cord clamping and why he now waits to clamp or cut the cord. He addresses all the "what-ifs" and cites a boatload of studies, including links.
