Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Delayed Cord Clamping in babies born through LSCS  Babies randomized to control arm will have cord clamping done at 60 seconds without milking following standard protocol of delayed cord clamping (DCC) as per WHO. All babies will be investigated for Hb and PCV at discharge, sampling will be combined with discharge bilirubin, blood group, G6PD and TSH screening protocol of institute 
Intervention  Umbilical Cord Management(UCM) protocol in babies born through LSCS  Babies born to mothers randomized to intervention arm will be given UCM protocol/ 3 x milking procedure will be carried out from placenta towards baby involving at least 25cm umbilical cord length. Umbilical cord will be clamped after 60 seconds(delayed cord clamping)

Brief Summary  

Study includes consequent eligible mother-infant dyad delivered at LSCS at CHEC, Kolkata. After getting a written informed consent from parents posted for LSCS, mother will be randomized to either of study arms. Babies born to mothers randomized to intervention arm will be given UCM protocol/ 3 x milking procedure will be carried out from placenta towards baby involving at least 25cm umbilical cord length.  Umbilical cord will be clamped after 60 seconds. Babies randomized to control arm will have cord clamping done at 60 seconds without milking following standard protocol of delayed cord clamping (DCC) as per WHO. All babies will be investigated for Hb and PCV at 72 hours or discharge (whichever is earlier), sampling will be combined with discharge bilirubin, blood group, G6PD and TSH screening protocol of institute.

All babies will be followed up till 16 weeks for secondary outcome measures.
