ABSTRACT:
A holistic method known as "lotus birth" involves keeping the cord and the baby together until their natural separation. The protocols for this technique remain unclear. Care for the newborn and her mother, as well as safety during delivery, are of utmost importance. Therefore, it is strongly advised that Lotus delivery be clear in any setup. A lot of study has been done on the benefits of delayed cord clamping.
