[QUOTE="wiflib, post: 2108206, member: 8588"] Cord blood banking involves depriving the baby that’s just been born of its own blood by means of clamping the cord straight after it’s been born in order to harvest the blood trapped in the cord and placenta. It is possible to get some blood if early clamping has not happened but highly unlikely. I’ve not looked into the long term problems of the routine practice of immediate or early cord clamping (anaemia is well documented though) but I feel that depriving a baby of its own blood volume and stem cells may cause problems that we simply don’t understand yet. EDIT: I’ve just seen how old this post is but I’ll leave up the info I’ve posted for future reference. [/QUOTE]
