Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

There appears to be no additional risk or danger to baby with one loop of cord around neck. This is fairly normal scenario and there is nothing to worry about it.

This loop of cord causes no risk. You don't worry.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Regards
