i asked my doctor about 留臍帶血... he said at this stage, 臍帶血 only can heal 1 out of 1000 sickness... and only can be kept till baby is 18-year old. Of course no one know if a few years later... 臍帶血is able to heal more sickness. 留臍帶血 is to buy yourself a restness mind.
one good benefit from a friend who did 留臍帶血 is that.... the 臍帶血 can benefit 3 family members (the baby, the elder brother, and the daddy) as they had the same DNA.. but the mommy won't get benefited coz' different DNA.
i think you can ask your doctor to see his/her opinion.
I've joined Cryolife when I had my first bb. I think their service is good and price is reasonable. I've joined their 5-year plan which is not available for other companies, all of which only provide 18-year plan. I didn't want to commit for so long. Another reason is that the agent was not hard-selling as she advised me to join 5 years first as most blood problems happens usually before 5 years old. After 5 years, I can either donate or continue to keep. At least I have choice.
