Private practice midwives do this. But when I talk to hosp.RNs about that practice they are uniformly horrified.
They insist that the baby must be kept on the same level plain as the placenta until the cord is clamped. Therefor, babe cannot be placed up on mom's chest because babe is above the placenta and babe will lose blood thru the cord. 
By the same token, if babe is placed below the placenta, babe will receive too much blood and all kinds of bad things will happen to babe with too much blood, too many RBCs; they'll get jaundiced.
My Logic alarms are going off with this one.
It's sounding like an Urban Myth to me because they can't tell me why or back up their statements.
What's up with this?

1.  All pregnant moms should request that the cord not be cut until it  has 
stopped pulsating.  Period.  Bring the OB a cup of coffee to give  him 
something to do for the four minutes until it has stopped.  Meanwhile,  baby on 
mom's chest, skin to skin....
