Nowadays, pregnant moms are asked a question barely heard of a decade ago: Do you want to save your baby's umbilical cord blood?
If you begin to research on cord blood banking, the first road block that you’re likely to encounter is the price tag. The price at CordLife begins from $800 for collection and an annual storage fee of $250.
The second question is whether you should bank your baby’s cord blood.
This is something that you’ve to decide yourself. It will be easier to decide if you’ve a child or family member who already has a condition that can be treated with a stem cell transplant. In this case, you should try to bank your newborn’s umbilical cord blood.

Only cord blood banks that are accredited by AABB (American Association of Blood Banks) or AATB (American Association of Tissue Banks) or CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act) or CAP (College of American Pathologists) should be considered.
For parents who are considering private cord blood banking option, you may want to check out CordLife, internationally accredited and Singapore’s longest operating cord blood bank since 2001.
