  Letting all the blood possible from the placenta flow to the baby, ensuring a full blood supply. It's especially good at improving iron stores.

  It's perfectly safe to wait a lot longer, too. Cutting before the cord stops pulsing prevents the baby getting all his blood, and it also increases risk of complications birthing the placenta as there is more blood still in the placenta.
