Cord Blood

Today, my wife and I purchased the service of Cord Life.

It is about keeping the cord blood of my baby in the blood bank for emergencies and unforeseen circumstances, such as leukemia.

Based on the sales person, in such misfortunate cases, 15 million cells are used for every 1 kg. This means that if my baby boy grows to manhood of 75kg, he will need 1125 million cells to save him. However, the cord blood that can be retrieved is between 400 to 600 million cells. Mathematically speaking, the cells can only help my baby only if he does not grow beyond 40kg, which is highly impossible.

But, no matter what, having some protection for him is better than having none. I guess it is parental love. We are not taking any chances.
