Do you have hemostats? Clamp the cords and cut AWAY from the body in the OTHER side of the clamps. If you don't have hemostats, tie the cords about 1/2 to 1 inch from the baby and cut on the other side of the tie. Try not to let her eat more than 2 of the placentas. Sometimes that is hard to stop them. We had to pull them from Sunshines mouth because she was gagging on them as they were too much for her. You can use dental floss for the ties
