This study verified the effect of late clamping (from 1 to 3 minutes after it is born) of the umbilical cord on the levels of hemoglobin, hematocrite and ferritine in children at birth, at three months and at six months and, still, the levels of bilirubins at the end of the first week of life, in order to detect cases of hyperbilirrubinemia. One hundred and eleven babies born at the University Hospital of santa Maria, RS, not only by vaginal birth by also by caesarian surgery and clinically healthy were used (45 ones were subjected to the early clamping and 66 ones to the late clamping). The collect of venous blood of the babies on their first day was made in the maternity and, the other collects were taken in returns to the laboratories of clinical analysis. The mothers socio-economical variants and the babies nutritional habits were also studied. the program Statsoft Statistica v 7.0.61.0EN was used to analyze the data statistically and the results were expressed on their averages. The hemoglobine and the hematocrite from the babies subjected to the late clamping were significantly superior to the values presented by the babies subjected to the early clamping, on their first day of life. There was no significant difference in the dosage of total bilirubin and fractions of babies according to the time of clamping as well as there was no case of hyperbilirrubinemia and the levels of ferritine of the children subjected to the late clamping showed to be superior to the ones presented by those children subjected to the early clamping in the third and in the sixth months. Thus, it is noticed that the late clamping might be a strategy to prevent the anemia because of iron defficiency in infants.
