Is Cord Blood Banking Advisable For A New Born Baby?
Question: Could you please tell me how much justifiable is to go for cord blood banking for a new born baby.
Got a demo from Lifecell/Cordlife about the same.
Heard that own cord cell/blood can only cure very minimum disease. Are there any proven theory or case that we can use cord blood cell for any diseases.
Please let me know whether it is necessary to go for cord blood banking for my new born baby.

Brief Answer:
Not justified
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
There is no evidence that justifies private company cord blood banking.
Cord blood can be used in very rare conditions that run in some families.
If there is no such rare blood cancer or rare blood cell disorder in your immediate family, there is no indication for cord blood banking.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further
