Summary
This is a pilot study designed to assess the safety of placing an infant on the mother's abdomen at the time of delivery, prior to clamping the umbilical cord and the effect of placing the infant on the mother's abdomen on the infant's iron stores. It is possible that placing the infant on the mother's abdomen (above the placenta) may lower the infant's iron stores during early infancy.
