For any mother, their children’s health is a top priority. Expectant mothers are no exception: it’s important for moms to consider the health of their child both up until birth and after. One lesser-known way for moms to prioritize the health of their children is to consider the option of cord blood banking.

Cord blood banking is a way for families to collect leftover blood from a newborn child’s umbilical cord. The cord blood is then kept in a cord bank, where the blood is saved until it’s needed. If you’ve ever looked into cord blood banking before, you’ve probably encountered some of the myths surrounding cord blood banking. So, what is the point of saving your baby’s cord blood? Read on to discover the top reasons to save your child’s cord blood.Top Reasons To Save Your Child's Cord Blood

Cord Blood Contains Stem Cells

Since cord blood is from your baby’s umbilical cord, it’s rich in stem cells. Stem cells are a special type of cell with the ability to develop into many different types of cells within the body. The blood drawn from the cord at birth will match your child’s blood exactly and can be used to fight numerous diseases later in life.

Cord Blood Can Be Used To Combat Disease

For parents, a top reason to save your child’s cord blood is its unique ability to combat disease. No mother likes to see children in pain, especially when it comes to difficult-to-treat conditions. Cord blood can be used to treat over 80 diseases, including various cancers, blood disorders, and immune disorders. While the hope is your child will never need one of these treatments, saving cord blood will provide you with peace of mind. If the time does come, you’ll be prepared.

Cord blood banking has life-saving potential

Cord blood is an important source of stem cells and it has been proven in treatments to help replace and rebuild diseased blood cells. Since the first cord blood transplant in 1988, there have been more than 30,000 cord blood transplants around the world.

You’ll be banking on the future of emerging research

Breakthroughs in stem cell research are occurring every day, and banking your child’s cord blood may be an investment in the future. Researchers are already studying the effects that cord blood stem cells have on spinal cord injury, brain injury, type 1 diabetes, stroke, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease.

It’s a Quick and Safe Process

The process of collecting cord blood is quick, safe, and occurs after birth. After the baby is delivered, the umbilical cord is clamped and cut. Any remaining blood is drawn out of the cord. The whole process only takes about 10 minutes and is completely painless for both child and mother.

It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

Cord blood is one of the richest sources of stem cells in the human body, and it can only be collected at birth. Cord blood banking is your only chance to capture the powerful cord blood stems cells unique to your child.

Saving your child’s cord blood is a good way for you as a mother to keep your child’s best interests at heart. Although it seems like a simple act, it’s one that can very well pay off long-term in the life and health of your child.

Sincerely,

Signature
