JAKARTA - The Indonesian Pediatrician Association (IDAI) said that delaying the clamping of the central rope for one to three minutes could prevent babies from being exposed to the Iron Defficiency Anemia (ADB).

"There is one study, usually if a baby is born into surgery and born by a midwife, once a central rope flip is born, there is also research, wait for one to three minutes, at least one minute," said IDAI Oncology Coordination Work Unit (UKK) Member Prof. Dr. dr. Hopes for Ringoringo Protection, Sp.A, Subsp.H.Onk(K), as reported by ANTARA.

According to a study, Parlin said that he did not cut the central rope for one to three minutes was intended so that the blood flow from the mother through the placenta into the baby's central rope would take longer.

Thus, more blood will enter the baby's body and reduce the risk of babies experiencing iron deficiency and anemia.

However, he stressed that this action depends on the situation faced by doctors when giving birth to babies.

"If at the time he was born there was a problem, maybe it didn't really think about it, yes, but if it was an elective (planned birth), the birth process would be very easy to do," he said.

Likewise, if a baby is born normally, he said, a doctor can place a baby for a while on his mother's body and not immediately cut the center rope.

Furthermore, Parlin reminded that anemia can have a number of bad impacts on the quality of life of children in the future.

A number of anemia effects in babies can be in the form of motor development disorders, decreased cognitive abilities, behavioral disorders, hearing, vision to myelinization disorders.

Parlin emphasized that anemia should not be tolerated because it can have an impact on the quality of human resources. Children's abilities and achievements are feared to decrease, including their productivity level.
