Cord blood banking, the collection and storage of umbilical cord blood stem cells is rapidly becoming an increasingly valuable asset in protecting the future health of your child. Preserving your baby’s own cord blood guarantees a perfect match for your child. Your baby’s cord blood also has an excellent chance of being a match to siblings or possibly other family members. Located in the umbilical cord and placenta, these unique cells are the building blocks of the blood system and may be used instead of a difficult and painful bone marrow transplant to treat certain anemia, leukemia, lymphomas and genetic disorders. To date, there have been over 4,000 successful stem cell transplants primarily on infants and children, but ongoing research shows promise for additional applications including diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
The decision to store a child's cord blood stem cells at birth is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once collected and stored, these "building block" cells will remain available to be used should the child ever need them. The collection process is quick, easy and poses no risk or discomfort to the mother or baby.
Parents should consider storing their child's cord blood especially if the family has a genetic predisposition for certain conditions or if both genetic links to the parents are not available, as in the case of using a sperm donor. The decision to collect and store the cord blood must be made prior to birth, as the collection can only be done immediately after the birth by the attending medical professional.
