Looking for feedback on whether you are banking cord blood and why or why not. Thanks.

I want to

I'm heard it's a scam. I'm opting for delayed cord clamping instead :)

@sugarduck, there is a lot of documentation already of what it can be used to treat. And in the next 10 years I think it will come even further. What makes you think it's a scam??

I want to I don't know much about it though

from what I've read delayed cord clamping is better. it allows the blood you'd be storing to go into your baby and it has alot of benefits including improved transitional circulation, better establishment of red blood cell volume, and decreased need for blood transfusion. If everything goes well this is what I'll be doing which would be the blood that would have been stored, there'd be nothing left. so in my opinion I'd rather the benefits of using that blood now rather than paying to keep it stored just in case something happened.

That doesn't make it a scam @sugarduck It can be used to treat leukemia and other horrible diseases already.

Okay maybe scam was the wrong word

if certain diseases run in the family is can be very beneficial to store the blood
