No, cutting the umbilical cord does not physically hurt the baby. However, there may be advantages/ disadvantages to cutting the cord. There is a big debate among health care professionals as to when or if the cord should be cut. In mainstream maternity care, doctors generally cut the cord ASAP. (They fear the baby could get too much blood and have complications. This is also done when the baby has medical issues and needs to be separated from the mother quickly for emergency care.) Other doctors and midwives may let the cord pulse for 30 seconds to a minute before cutting. (Allowing the blood that was intended to go to the baby... to go.) Still others will wait till the cord completely stops pulsing before cutting. Then there is lotus birth. (Google to get full definition.) They do not cut the cord at all. Rather they let the cord and placenta dry naturally. This usually results in the cord separating on its own 3 to 10 days later.
