Cutting the Umbilical Cord & First Clamp — Newborn’s First Minutes | NICU Care

Today we recorded the newborn’s very first minutes after birth — including the safe placement of the umbilical cord clamp and initial newborn management. This clip is shared for education and awareness to show how gentle, respectful cord clamping and immediate newborn care help protect a baby’s health and warmth in the critical first moments. 💙

What you will see in this video:
• Placement of the umbilical clamp and safe cord cutting technique (short, respectful clip).
• Immediate drying, warming, and breathing assessment after birth.
• Why delayed or proper cord clamping matters for newborn blood volume and early adaptation.
• Short clinical notes on newborn safety and how parents can support these first steps.

Parental Permission & Child Safety: This footage is shared with full parental permission for medical education and awareness only. We protect baby dignity and privacy — no identifying family details or private parts are shown. All procedures are performed or supervised by trained neonatal staff.

Clinical Note: Proper cord clamping (timely and sterile) reduces risk of bleeding and supports safe transition; timing may vary depending on baby condition and obstetric guidance.
