In a recently published study, the researchers noted that milking of the umbilical cord just before it was cut in preterm infants was found to significantly improve the flow of blood. This was in scenarios where cesarean section was used during the delivery.

The study showed that increased blood flow in infants that are born prematurely in their circulatory system from their umbilical cord is incredibly beneficial. The overall result of this as noted by the study was the improvement of the levels of red blood cells, improved blood pressure as well as prevention of bleeding that can happen in the brain as a result.
