Banking on baby’s cord blood
As soon as you deliver your baby, you will surely want to see you child’s first steps, hear his first words. You Wont be thinking about your child getting any serious disease. But as a good parent you must consider the fact that your child is not immune to any disease.
You can consider something that might save the life of your child in his life: banking cord blood – that is at the birth of your child you can consider saving up his cord blood and storing it for future use and hopefully which should not be the case.
This is a very simple process, as soon as your child is born, the doctor cuts the umbilical cord and extracts all the blood from it and sends it to a cord blood bank where it can be stored. All of this has a price though, the cost might be of thousands but if ever your child has some serious disease in future this might just save his life.
Banking cord blood is actually the retrieval of the stem cells from the umbilical cord blood – these cells can transform in any other cells which makes it so unique to cure a lot of diseases.
But in case if you dont have the resource/funds to save your child’s umbilical cord blood, you might consider donating to a public cord blood bank which might save someone’e life.
