Should you opt for private stem cell banking for your baby? 🩸👶🏻
Cord blood banking is increasingly being marketed as a “biological insurance” for your baby—but how useful is it actually?
In this reel, I explain in simple terms:
🔹 When private cord blood banking may genuinely be useful
🔹 Why it is different when a sibling has **thalassemia, sickle cell disease, Fanconi anaemia or another condition requiring HSCT**
🔹 Why your baby’s own cord blood cannot generally correct their inherited genetic disorder
🔹 What about leukemia and other cancers?
🔹 Private vs public cord blood banking
🔹 What science currently says about using cord blood stem cells for regeneration, diabetes and heart damage
🔹 Why you should make this decision based on evidence—not fear or marketing
If you’re pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or considering cord blood/stem cell banking, save this reel and share it with an expecting couple. ❤️
