This study is being done to find out whether umbilical cord milking (UCM) is at least as good as or better than delayed cord clamping (DCC) to reduce bleeding in the brain or prevent death in premature newborns. The investigators will study short and long term outcomes of infants delivered before 32 weeks gestation that receive either UCM or DCC. \* The trial was stopped by the DSMB for safety in the small strata. They subsequently allowed for continuation of the trial in infants 29-32+6 wk GA.
