Sentences with phrase «extra iron in the blood»

Not exact matches

Remember that, especially in the second half of the first year, babies need extra iron for their blood.

However, recent research shows that waiting a few minutes — so that extra blood flows from the placenta to the baby — lowers the risk of newborn anemia and iron deficiency in infancy.

By doing this, research shows that babies will receive approximately 300 mls of extra blood than if the cord was cut straight away which leads to an increase in iron levels within the baby's body and sufficient iron stores for up to the first twelve months of life (Van Rheenan, Brabin, 2006).
