The 60 Seconds During Birth That Could SERIOUSLY Harm Your Baby

Scary.
Women give birth every day, so OB-GYNs
have come up with a pretty standard
routine. But not all everything in that
routine is what's best for mother and
baby.
Luckily, things are changing with more
research, but some studies have found
that the normal practice of clamping and
cutting the umbilical cord as fast as 60
seconds after birth is harmful. Isn't that
parenting advice you wish you knew
before giving birth?
Babble's Chaunie Bruise, a midwife,
argues against clamping and cutting the
umbilical cord so soon after birth, and
with good reason.
Babies get oxygen from the
umbilical cord, so by cutting it soon
after the baby is born, the baby's
lungs struggle to match the pace of
blood that's rushing into them to get
the first breath of air.
Waiting to cut the cord also leads to
higher birth weights, reduces risk of
hemorrhaging, higher hemoglobin levels,
an increase in iron, and lowers risk of
anemia later in life.
Although it's not regularly used for
babies, waiting to clamp is often part of
the routine for premature babies who
need the blood cells.
If it has all of these benefits, why do
doctors cut the cord right after
birth?
Simple: it's easier for them to move the
baby if it's clean and no longer attached.
It also makes the process quicker, which
is a huge motivation for doctors, sadly.
So, how long after birth should the
cord be cut? World Health Organization
recommends waiting one to three
minutes before clamping the cord to
prevent iron deficiency and anemia.
Once again, America is way behind. In the
United Kingdom, the National Institute
for Health and Care Excellence changed
their guidelines to delay clamping for at
least five minutes, according to Daily
Mail.
If you want to wait to clamp, make sure
your doctor knows about your plan.

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it  can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of  anything  they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a  pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...
