How do you feel about blood cord banking?

I'm a bit torn on the issue, personally. As far as the benefits go, I think it's great. However, I think it goes against some of the things I believe in religiously...plus it is costly. What do other Pagan moms think about the issue?

hey Myra
Great question! My opinion? Cord blood belongs IN the baby.
My Daughters were both home-birthed and we did not cut the cord until all the cord blood had passed to the baby. This was done for the sole purpose of giving my daughters a;; the protection they were In My Opinion meant to have..

I wanted to save my son's cord blood so badly when I found out about it.. We have some diseases in my family (one that my own mother has) that they are researching to be able to help or even cure!

Unfortunately I did not have the money, so I wasn't able to get it done. Hopefully with my next child I can.
