The present disclosure relates to a kit comprising numbered and unnumbered umbilical cord clamps and matching numbered wristbands. The unnumbered clamps are for initial clamping of the umbilical cord immediately after the birth and are distinguished from the numbered clamps by size, shape and/or by color. The unnumbered clamps are most preferably of gender neutral color, such as yellow. The numbered clamps may be white or may be of color indicating the newborns gender. The numbered clamps are used to reclamp the umbilical cord below the unnumbered clamp after the newborn is cleaned. The unnumbered clamp is cut off and disposed once the numbered clamp is in its place. The wristbands have the same numbers as the numbered clamps. Two wristbands are attached to the newborn, one wristband is for the mother and one wristband may be for the significant other. The newborn may not be removed from a defined area without the numbers in the wristbands and on the clamp matching. The clamp and the wristbands may have additional security codes. An alarm may be triggered if the numbers in the clamp and the wristband are not matching when the newborn is removed from the defined area.
