1954 -- More in the German-language literature
		Hormann & Lemtis (1954), like Schucking (1877 & 1879), Hofmeier (1878 & 1879), Ribemont (1879 -1881), vonEngel (1885), Kostlin (1898), Haselhorst (1929) and Allmeling (1930) measured weight-gain in newborn infants during the period of continuing umbilical cord pulsation.  They collected data on 100 babies.  They found that during the first minute after birth infants received on average 78 percent of the total transfusion, with loss and gain fluctuations in the succeeding minutes, diminishing up to 12 minutes after birth.
