If the umbilical cord is wrapped around the infant's neck during delivery, hook it with your forefinger and gently but quickly slip it over the baby's head. If it will not slip over the baby's head, don't worry about it. Instead, continue trying to deliver the rest of the baby. Once the head is delivered, the rest of the baby's body generally comes out quickly. Support the baby's head and shoulders as the baby emerges.
Newborns are slippery, so hold the baby with a towel.
If the baby's shoulder seems stuck, tell the mother to push hard. Press toward the mother's back with your hands in the area just above the mother's pubic hair. You can also try lifting the mother's legs back toward her chest, keeping her knees bent and apart. Once delivered, hold the baby's head down and face down, with the feet higher than the head, so that fluids can drain. After the baby starts to cry, wipe the baby's nose and mouth again with a clean cloth.
